m.youtube/watch?v=pGe4o2jk2-E Mozart The String Quintet No. 4 in G minor, K. 516 was written for the only composer to whom he saw as an equal of compositional genius Joseph Haydn, one six dedicated, Like all of Mozarts string quintets, it is a viola quintet in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello). The work was completed on May 16, 1787, less than a month after the completion of his grand C Major Quintet, K. 515. This would not be the last time that a great pair of C major/G minor works of the same form would be published in close proximity and assigned consecutive Köchel numbers. The following year, the 40th (G minor) and 41st (C major) symphonies (respectively K.550 and K.551) would be completed within a few weeks of each other. The mood of the piece is dark and melancholic, typical of Mozarts G minor works.
