The opening of the volume introduces the reader to the evolution of Mozart's instrumental music, particularly his engagement with string quartets and other forms of chamber music. It discusses how the popularity of the quartet format, influenced by Joseph Haydn, led Mozart to compose several significant works which highlighted his strengths as a composer.
