From 1781, during the last decade of his life, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lived in Vienna. He quickly gained favour as a pianist and composer. The aristocracy adored him, publishers courted him, and theatres applauded him for a few years. However, following the success of "The Marriage of Figaro" in 1786, his fortune declined. His music, evolving without regard for fashion or audience preferences, began to sound difficult to Viennese ears. Concerts and commissions dwindled. While Vienna turned its back on him, Prague honoured him and in 1787 requested a new opera: "Don Giovanni." Yet, during its composition, Mozart faced severe financial difficulties, which worsened over time. These were slightly alleviated by the support of fellow Masons, leading him to temporarily set aside the opera to work on something that could be published and sold quickly. However the resulting works from the spring of 1787, the String Quintets K. 515 and K. 516, remained unsold for a long time. These quintets, contrasting like sun and moon, the first in the radiant key of C major, the other in a restless G minor, were not commercially successful due to their unusual ensemble and dense writing, rich in counterpoint and introspection, which did not suit the average taste of the time. Moreover, K. 516 is immediately complex. The "Allegro" is intense, bristly, concentrated and febrile, and does not seek approval, challenging listeners to engage with it. The Minuet is similarly austere, with a tortuous melody and stark contrasts. The "Adagio ma non-troppo" offers a lyrical oasis with muted strings. One would expect a brilliant finale, but Mozart surprises with an enigmatic "Adagio," which abruptly transforms into a luminous "Allegro," creating an unexpected and seemingly carefree ending that some commentators find too lighthearted to be credible.
