The six string quartets, K. 155-160, were composed
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in late 1772 and early 1773.
 
Because they were composed in Milan
while he was working on his opera Lucio Silla,
they are popularly known as the Milanese Quartets.
 
Before this set was composed, Mozart had written
one earlier string quartet (K. 80 in 1770),
so these six quartets are ordinally numbered from No. 2 to No. 7.
 
The quartets are written in a plan of keys of D-G-C-F-B♭-E♭
following the circle of fifths.
All six quartets have only three movements.
 
Four of the quartets (K. 156-159) have slow movements in the minor mode.
The finales are generally lightweight, usually minuets or rondos.
 
Quartet No. 4 in C major, K. 157
Written at the end of 1772 in Milan
and premiered in early 1773.
