Mozart's late string quartets (and other chamber works) are getting rather complex and chromatic.
Yeah! The 2nd 'Prussian' quartet K.590 contains some *very* modern, very chromatic ideas for 1789 or whenever he wrote it, especially in the minuet.
And of course the 'Dissonance' quartet has that really eerie opening, and further strange inflexions even in the bright Allegro that follows (listen for when there are triplets).
