The String Quintet No. 6 in E-flat major, K. 614, was completed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on April 12, 1791. It is Mozart's last major chamber work. Like all of Mozart's string quintets, it is a "viola quintet" in that it is scored for string quartet and an extra viola (two violins, two violas and cello).

Movements

The work is in standard four movement form:

• I. Allegro di molto
• II. Andante
• III. Menuetto: Allegro
• IV. Allegro

The first movement is in sonata form.
