Hunting quartet

As Jagdquartett is String Quartet in B flat major KV 458 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart called.

The string quartet in B flat major KV 458 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart received its nickname "Jagdquartett" because of the beginning of the first movement with a theme of triads in 6/8 time, music that invites you to hunt. It is not guaranteed that Mozart himself used this nickname. The string quartet is one of the six string quartets dedicated to Haydn (so-called Haydn quartets KV 387, 421, 428, 458, 464, 465 ).
