ABSTRACT

This thesis considers aspects of canon formation, focusing on Mozart’s Prussian Quartets (K.575, 589, 590) which have long been regarded as a minor miscellany, compared with the previous quartets dedicated to Haydn or related to financial distress of the composer’s last years. Based on such historical or aesthetical aspects linked with the status of canon, this thesis examines biography and compositional motivation and process surrounding Mozart’s Prussian Quartets, and furthermore attempted to connect contextual understanding to the text. Intertextual analysis through Mozart’s Haydn quartets and late string quintets, and Haydn’s Prussian Quartets is intended to illuminate correlation and uniqueness of Mozart’s Prussian Quartets, for instance, unprecedented cello writing, significance of counterpoint, and scherzo writing.
