Mozart’s dark and stormy piano quartet may have deterred its publisher, but it showed the way from the Classical to the Romantic – so Tchaikovsky owes Mozart (and Florence) for his inspiration. This souvenir is beyond festive – think 1812 without the cannons.

~ Zoltan Kodály, Serenade for Two Violins and Viola, Op. 12
~ Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, String Sextet in D Minor, Souvenir de Florence
