The play string quartets and Haydn’s quartets are often displayed on the music stand.  When Mozart hears something he likes, he immediatly grabes a pen and to start composing something similar. He composes a series of superior string quartets, which Haydn admires deeply. Eventually Mozart dedicates them to his older colleague. Haydn, on his turn, gets inspired by Mozart’s works and composes a new series. We are going to let yoou hear the influence they had on each other, and how their works flourished.
