Eine Kleine Nachtmusik / "Posthorn" Serenade

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Pražský komorní orchestr & Charles Mackerras

Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 in G major, K.525) and the 'Posthorn' Serenade (Serenade No. 9 in D major, K.320) are two serenades by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1787 and 1779 respectively. Both works exemplify Mozart's attention to melodic clarity and classical-era balance, the G major serenade being a compact, string-orientated suite of movements while the D major 'Posthorn' Serenade employs expanded wind passages and a broader orchestral palette suited to outdoor and ceremonial functions in Mozart's middle career.
