Composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Arranged by James M. Guthrie, ASCAP. Classical,Holiday,Standards,Wedding. 67 pages. Jmsgu3 #3447099. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.549012).Mozart's Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 in G Major, K. 525) is one of his most famous and enduring compositions, completed on August 10, 1787. The title translates to "A Little Night Music," and it is admired for its lively, joyful quality and memorable melodies.
Originally written for a chamber ensemble consisting of two violins, viola, cello, and double bass, it is often performed by string orchestras today.
The serenade consists of four movements:
Allegro: A bright and lively opening in sonata form.
Romanze: Andante: A slow, lyrical second movement.
Menuetto: Allegretto: A light and elegant minuet.
Rondo: Allegro: A brisk and energetic finale.
Lost Movement: Originally, there was a fifth movement, a second minuet, which has been lost.
The piece was completed while Mozart was working on his opera Don Giovanni. It was published posthumously in 1827 by Johann André. Although the specific occasion for its composition is unknown, serenades were popular for social gatherings and outdoor performances in Vienna during Mozart's time. This piece, however, is likely intended for indoor performance due to its all-string instrumentation. Eine kleine Nachtmusik remains one of the most frequently performed and iconic classical compositions. It has been widely used in popular culture, including films and advertisements, making it instantly recognizable.
The serenade is considered a "supreme mastery in the smallest possible frame" and is one of Mozart's most beloved works. It figured prominently in the Academy Award-winning biopic Amadeus (1984), further cementing its place in popular culture.
Despite its frequent performances, the high quality and joyful nature of the music are undisputed, showcasing Mozart's ability to create profound beauty in a seemingly simple structure.
