4 quartet were the only minor key piece found in their 6 sets of quartet. Beethoven was certainly aware of Mozart’s works when writing his music.

From 1740 to 1760, Haydn worked hard and he came to know the leading Viennese musical figures along the way. (Geiringer, 1982) In those times, it was necessary to have sponsorship of nobility for support. In 1761, Hungarian Prince Paul Anton Esterházy, contracted Haydn and asked him to be assistant kapellmeister, or composer for the Prince.

Because of this talent Salieri who can be observed in Figure 16, envied him and tried to sabotage his career, Salieri, attempted to do this because he recognized…
