He has taste, and, what is more, the most profound knowledge of composition ."So wrote Joseph Haydn in 1785 to the father of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart when he had heard theyoung composer`s tribute in music. Mozart, who had studied Haydn`s scores and particularly his stringquartets which were considered to be a revolutionary, new form of musical expression when they firstappeared, wrote 23 string quartets during his life. The six beautiful quartets dedicated to Haydn werewritten in Vienna between 1782 and 1785 and it was in January and February, 1785 that the old masterheard `his`six quartets at two concerts in Mozart`s own home. Stratford Summer Music welcomes ayoung and promising string quartet from Toronto – the Annex Quartet – to perform all six of thesemasterpieces. Series runs August 18 th , 19 th, & 20 th.
