I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mozart's quartet' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'one observes contrary directions' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is present in the answer.
'directions' could be 'ewe' (I've seen this before) and 'ewe' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
