This is the third in a set of six string quartets that Mozart dedicated to Joseph Haydn, his great contemporary.
Haydn returned the compliment. On hearing these works, he told Mozart's father that his son was the finest composer in the world.
There are four movements:
- Allegro non troppo
- Andante con moto
- Menuetto & Trio
- Allegro vivace
