Mozart Eine kleine Nachtmusik — В.А. Моцарт Маленькая ночная серенада — Serenade No 13, K. 525

Eine kleine Nachtmusik Serenade or A Little Night Music (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, which is illustrated by the paintings of François Boucher. Eine kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major), K. 525, is a 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The German title means “a little serenade“, though it is often rendered more literally but less accurately as “a little night music.“ The work is written for an ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass but is often performed by string orchestras. The traditionally used name of the work comes from the entry Mozart made for it in his personal catalog, which begins, “Eine kleine Nacht-Musik.“ As Zaslaw and Cowdery point out, Mozart almost certainly was not giving the piece a special title, but only entering in his records that he had completed a little serenade. The work was not published until about 1827, long after Mozart’s death, by Johann André in Offenba
