It is hardly imaginable today, but the Viennese public of Mozart's time was unable to appreciate the beauties of Mozart's Piano Quartet K. 478. It was not accustomed to the dramatic g minor character – especially of the first movement – coming from this composer. And thus it came about that the publisher Hoffmeister refused to print any further quartets; after K. 478, Mozart wrote only the E flat major Quartet K. 493, although a series of six works had originally been planned. What a pity! Today the two piano quartets rank among the landmarks of Mozartian chamber music and continue to enjoy a great status.

Excellent edition
As usual, the Henle Edition is a top choice for serious musicians. I especially enjoy the fact that their scores lie flat on th pianomusic rack, which is not always the case with other ditions. Clear printing with adequate spacing between staffs.
