Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 2 in D major, K. 155/134a, is thought to have been composed in the autumn of 1772 in Bolzano, while Mozart and his father were touring Italy. [1] The opening movement is notable for its unusual (at the time) key changes and its use of the interrupted Cadence.
