Eine Kleine Nachtmusic

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Bruno Walter & Columbia Symphony Orchestra

Eine kleine Nachtmusik is a serenade for strings by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1787. The work is characteristic of the Classical era, featuring clear textures, balanced structures and contrasting movements that alternate lively, energetic passages with graceful, lyrical ones, and it sits within Mozart's middle-period output as a compact example of his chamber and orchestral writing.
First released: 1982
