Serenade No. 7 in D ("Haffner")

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & English Chamber Orchestra & Pinchas Zukerman

Serenade No. 7 in D (the "Haffner" Serenade) is a serenade by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1776. Scored for a mixed ensemble of strings and wind instruments, it comprises several movements that alternate stately ceremonial passages with lighter, dance-like chamber textures, reflecting Mozart's developing Classical-era approach to orchestral colour and formal contrast within his Salzburg-period output.
