Footage shows a string quartet playing Mozart. A quartet typically has a two violins, a viola, and a cello. Clip is silent.

The quartet is dressed in their Sunday best. In a large white room, they get out their instruments and prepare to play. A hand opens the sheet music of Mozart’s “The Ten Celebrated String Quartets,” aka “Die zen berühmten Streichquartette,” which sits on a stand.

The quartet plays with passion, intensity, and focus. We see close-ups of their bows and strings in action
