Juliette Greer (violin), Tim Deighton (viola), Ben Deighton (cello), and Katherine Benson (piano) present two of the most dramatic and thrilling works from the piano quartet repertoire. Mozart’s Piano Quartet in G Minor is one of the composer’s rare minor-key works, set in Mozart’s so-called “key of fate.” Despite its turbulent Sturm und Drang character, the piece still features Mozart’s classic operatic lyricism and ends in the sunshine key of G Major.
