Haydn and Mozart are known to have played in a string quartet together, Rebecca. Do you know what they played, Denis, and who was listening? This is a concert I would definitely have liked to attend. Any thoughts, b?
The quartet consisted of Dittersdorf, Haydn (violins), Mozart (viola) and Vanhal (cello) As they were all composers, I can't help thinking that they must have played some of their own pieces, however reluctant they may have seemed at the beginning of the evening! Has anyone any fly-on-the-wall thoughts about how they would have got on together and what they might have played?
