“One may sense a dreamy quality in the opening movement, nowhere more than in the suprising modulation that heralds the development section.  The melody at that point is a motif that simply pervades this movement, a figure that begins with a falling sixth, firdt heard as the second theme of the exposition.  In the course of the movement it is transposed to many keys and is heard in a variety of instrumental combinations; at the very end, it even overlaps with itself in a bit of a contrapuntal imitation.  Where the G-minor [Sol menor] Piano Quartet is taut and tense, the one in E-flat major [Mi bemol maior] tends toward luxuriance, which reach its peak in the Larghetto.  This is one of Mozart’s most eloquent slow movements, so rich in reiterations that it truly seems a dialogue among the four participants.”  (in James M. Keller, Chamber’s Music: a Listener’s Guide, Oxford Univ.Press, Oxford, 3011, p. 336)
