Mendelssohn's three piano quartets were written in childhood. The second, the Piano Quartet in F minor, Opus 2, was written in 1823, a year after the first, and dedicated to his teacher Zelter. The strings start the first movement, before the piano adds its own more extended comment. It is the piano that introduces the A flat major second subject, based on the descending scale. The piano part gives an appearance of virtuosity, with complications of hand-crossing to impress an audience. The strings, violin, viola and then cello, lead back, as the central development comes to an end, to the recapitulation and final more rapid coda. The piano opens the D flat major Adagio, with its shifts of tonality, and its hushed conclusion is followed by an Intermezzo, taking the place of a Minuet or Scherzo, and opening in the mood of a gentle rondo. The last movement starts with a lively violin theme, taken up by the piano and providing the basis for much that follows.
The Piano Quartet No. 3 in B minor, Opus 3, was written in 1824 and 1825 and dedicated to Goethe. It represents a still more confident and mature handling of the chosen medium. The piano starts the Allegro molto first movement, joined then by the strings and there is an interesting bridge passage leading to the piano introduction of the D major second subject and a livelier coda, preceding the central development section. Fragments of the first subject lead to the final recapitulation, with its B major second subject and B minor coda. The slow movement is an E major Andante with interesting twists of harmony, while the following F sharp minor Allegro molto, with its contrasting B major central section, suggests something of the gossamer world of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The quartet ends with a vigorous final Allegro vivace, which contains a closing reference to the first movement and again a significant amount of passage-work for the piano, a feature of these early compositions, suggesting the circumstances of their composition and intended first performance at home. It was, however, this quartet that, coupled with the obvious wealth of the Mendelssohn family, convinced Cherubini of the viability of a musical career for the boy. He perceived in the work, however, a wealth of musical ideas, prodigally displayed, if Mendelssohn did \met trop d'étoffe dans son habit".
