The Duo K. 424 was written by Mozart in the summer of 1783 to complete Michael Haydn's set of six for Archbishop Colloredo. Michael Haydn was a close friend of Mozart and a composer who was admired by him. When Mozart heard of Michael Haydn's plight, he quickly wrote the two delinquent duos and delivered them to the Archbishop under Haydn's name. The set of six was presented as all Haydn's, and Colloredo could not "detect in them Mozart's obvious workmanship". The piece was carefully designed to complete the set by choosing two keys not already used by Haydn. Among the devices Mozart uses to camouflage his authorship are the chirping grace notes and trills in the opening movement of K. 424. The Duo K. 424 is an example of Mozart's ability to write music in the style of his contemporaries while still maintaining his own unique voice.
