FOR Mozart's concerts in Vienna he composed a good many works, of which this Quintet was one.
The concerts in Lent, 1784, were a great success, and were useful in making Mozart known and getting him pupils,
Of the Quintet (K. 452) he then said, 'I consider it the best thing I ever wrote in my life.' Certainly its three Movements (the First is preceded by a short prelude in slow time) are full of the happiest music, written with great skill to give each instrument a characteristic, effective and interesting part.
