Mozart - Duo for Violin and Viola in G, K. 423 [complete]

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Duo No. 1 in G major for violin and viola, K. 423, the first of the two Mozart wrote to complete Michael Haydn's set of six for the Archbishop Colloredo, was written in the summer of 1783. It is in three movements:
1. Allegro, common time
2. Adagio, C major, 3/4
3. Rondeau: Allegro, cut time
While both Mozart's and Haydn's duos give the viola lots of double stops, Mozart's duos differ in that the viola also gets many passages in sixteenths, almost in equal proportion to the violin. H. C. Robbins Landon notes in particular of K. 423 that Mozart had retained the knowledge he gained in writing the String Quartet in G major, K. 387 (the finale of which was in turn influenced by Haydn's Symphony No. 23). The set of six was presented as all Haydn's, and Colloredo was unable to "detect in them Mozart's obvious workmanship." By transposing the viola part an octave down and changing to bass clef, the piece is readily playable on cello. Werner Rainer edited such a transcription for Verlag Doblinger.
The G major Duo is almost always paired with the B-flat major Duo, K. 424. The Hungaroton label has a 2-CD set of the Mozart and Haydn duos with Barnabas Kelemen and Katalin Kokas. The Avie label prefers to put Mozart's duos (played by Phillipe Graffin and Nobuko Imai) on a 2-CD set with other pieces by Mozart, such as the Violin Concerto in G, K. 216, and the Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major, K. 364. The Odeum Guitar Duo has recorded a transcription of K. 423 for two guitars, available as an MP3 download for Pepsi points.

[@MrFpam]

A very superficial and mostly irrelevant discussion of the piece: "the viola also gets many passage3s in sixteenths" etc.
It has been recorded or copied a semitone too high which speeds it up and changes the tone of both instruments and as usual you have lied about not knowing the performers or other details of the recording , to avoid copyright.

Look at my thumbnail and look at this video's thumbnail

[@jesseiguess1319]

David Lewis it's a common thumbnail/ stock image.. it's not that much of a coincidence

[@Miguel-ks2mc]

This isn't in G Major, but I won't complain.

[@SebastianCaballero]

But it is

[@Miguel-ks2mc]

***** The original recording was in G, but this recording is moved up by one half step. This recording is either G# major or Ab major.

[@emmaq1160]

me it is

[@akilule]

extra

[@brianknapp8645]

Isn't this Perlman and Zukerman performing?

[@jesseiguess1319]

Brian Knapp no. It's in a different scale and they didn't play it this fast

[@martinh1277]

Could be PerlZuk after changing the samplin rate.

[@RequiemAeternam01]

It's Arthur Grumiaux and Arrigo Pelliccia from the Philips Complete Mozart Edition.

Tempo un peu trop vite , les musiciens feraient mieux d'aller avec d'avantage de mesure cependant , notons l'extraordinaire dialogue entre le violon et l'alto , cela dans un contrepoint très au point si je puis dire et avec des ornements d'une beauté enthousiasmante , car la composition est sur mode majeur , ce qui pousse l'auditeur à ressentir le côté positif .
Mozart s'exprime dans le style roccoco . Cela , personne n'en parle en histoire de l'art et cela implique un changement de perspective de la part de l'auditeur car celui ci est intégré dans l'intimité des choses entendues depuis les sons émis par les instrumentistes avec tendance à exclure toute référence d'effet architectural car c'est la nature qui devient temple ; les colonnes , chapiteaux et l'extrême régularité des figures dans l'art post renaissance appelé baroque ont cédé la place à l'ornement végétal et parfois animal ( souvent des crêtes des coq )
