About This Song

About "Mozart: String Quartet No. 17 in B-Flat Major, Op. 10 No. 3, K. 458 "The Hunt": IV. Allegro assai" by Alban Berg Quartett

The Alban Berg Quartett closes Mozart's 'Hunt' with a chase of pure delight. Allegro assai gallops through the forest of the finale, horns implied in the strings' leaping figures. Tension and release are played as a game—courtly poise giving way to breathless, joyful pursuit.
