The Adagio and Fugue in C minor, K. 546, is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for strings. Mozart entered it into his own work catalogue on 26 June 1788 in Vienna as A short Adagio for two violins, viola and bass, for a fugue which I wrote some time ago for two Pianos. The fugue in question was the two piano fugue in C minor, K. 426, written in December 1783.
The work is in two sections:
- Adagio
- Fuga (Allegro)
The 52-bar Adagio has a very ominous and foreboding tone; musicologist Robert D. Levin said: “Angular outbursts alternate with an unearthly hush; its suggestions of violence and mysticism make the ensuing geometry of the fugue seem a reliefâ€.
This arrangement for sax quartet (Bb Soprano, Eb Alto, Bb Tenor, Eb Baritone) is a faithful transcription of the original.
