About

On presenting this Quintet to the public in 1784, Mozart was delighted; “…the applause was extraordinary; I myself consider it to be the best work I have written in my life…” The work is scored for oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon and pianoforte.

There is no doubt that Beethoven took Mozart’s quintet as a model. He used not only the same instruments, but also the same key, overall structure and even some motifs. Both works are constructed as chamber concertos – piano concertos with small orchestra – hence the absence of minuets or scherzos and the inclusion of cadenzas. However in every motif and phrase one hears differences between the two composers.
