家喻戶曉的作曲大師莫札特在短暫的三十五年生命裡，創作出眾多雋永名作。這首創作於1781年的雙簧管四重奏，作品編號K.370，編制為雙簧管、小提琴、中提琴與大提琴。莫札特為數不多的雙簧管作品皆需精湛技巧，因為他是為了好友、當時歐洲最優秀的雙簧管演奏家拉姆（Friedrich Ramm）而量身創作的。
第一樂章由雙簧管帶出開朗明亮的第一主題，與小提琴精彩對話。第二樂章儼然雙簧管小協奏曲，並在結尾安排了華彩奏。第三樂章為迴旋曲形式，其中的第二插段帶有精彩的室內樂對話，挑戰演奏家默契。此曲現由薩克斯風演奏家李承育改編，調性由原本F大調改為降A大調，配器則改為中音薩克斯風與鋼琴。
Mozart won international fame as a child prodigy. He was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. Mozart composed over 600 works. His Oboe Quartet in F, K.370, was written in 1781 for oboe, violin, viola and cello. It was for Friedrich Ramm, a virtuoso oboist in Europe, that Mozart composed the quartet in order to show off his virtuosity.
The first movement opens with the first subject played by the oboe, a lively, carefree, and finely turned melody. The violin shares some of the thematic material. The Adagio tests the oboist with some anguished melodic leaps. Toward the end, the oboe sings out a disconsolate cadenza. The Rondeau lopes along in 6/8. The second episode contains a fleeting moment of independence for the oboe as it spins a charming song in a 4/4 rhythm against the 6/8 of the strings. This quartet is now arranged by saxophonist Cheng-yu Lee. He transformed F major into A-flat for alto saxophone and piano.
