Synopsis

This reprint of the celebrated Novello edition features the six "Haydn" Quartets, the "Hoffmeister" Quartet, and three "Prussian" Quartets. Based on corrected manuscripts published by the composer's widow, this famous study score constitutes the first authentic edition of these works.

All lovers of Mozart's works, including intermediate-level and advanced string players, will rejoice in this modestly priced edition of a historic score.
