Description:
Spanish Basque composer Juan Crisóstomo Jacobo Antonio de Arriaga y Balzola (1806-1826) was nicknamed "the Spanish Mozart" after he died because he and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart shared the status of a child prodigy and accomplished composer that died young. The three sparkling string quartets were written in 1823 when Arriaga was only 16, and they were the only of his works published in his lifetime.
