Serenades: Eine kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525 / "Posthorn" Serenade (no. 9 in D major), K. 320

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & The Cleveland Orchestra & George Szell

These are two serenades by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1787 and 1779. They reflect Classical-era clarity and balance, with tuneful, homophonic writing, contrasting multi-movement structures and a mix of refined string textures and expanded wind writing suited to outdoor and ceremonial performance, and they are representative examples of Mozart's contributions to the serenade genre.
