Mendelssohn wrote his '4 Piano Quartets' (for piano and string trio) between 1821 and 1824 (between his 12th and 15th year..), forming his 'Opus 1, 2 and 3'. Clearly modelled on Mozart's Classical style, they are vintage Mendelssohn: brilliant, virtuoso, containing clever counterpoint, strongly melodic both in the fast movements as in the slow movements (characteristic 'Lieder ohne Worte'), the 'Scherzi' foreshadowing his Sommernachtstraum music.
