String Quartet No. 14 (Mozart) String Quartet No. 14 (Mozart) The String Quartet No. 14 in G major, K. 387, nicknamed the "Spring" quartet, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 while in Vienna. In the composer's inscription on the title page of the autograph score is stated: ""li 31 di decembre 1782 in vienna"". The work was perhaps edited in 1783. This is the first of the Haydn Quartets, a set of six string quartets he wrote during his first few years in Vienna in honor of the composer Joseph Haydn, who is generally viewed as the father of the string quartet form.
The Noise (string quartet) Music has seen the group record the 2013 album "composed NOISE", consisting of all new string quartets with elements of improvisation by seven leading Australian composers including Andrew Ford and Rosalind Page. Their 2015 release "Stream" was a double album consisting of all improvised material, which just like "composed NOISE" received four-star reviews in the Sydney Morning Herald, with SMH jazz critic John Shand describing the aesthetic as "...melodic, evocative, starkly beautiful... and coher[ing] with sometimes uncanny precision...". Due for release is Georges Lentz's 6-hour masterpiece "String Quartet(s)" on which The Noise collaborated. The Noise (string quartet) The Noise are
