Music #113 -Mozart Serenade No.13

Serenade No.13 for strings in G

- aka 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' / A Little Night Music《小小夜曲》, K.525

This is the last and the most well-known of Mozart's 13 serenades.  The original second movement (a menuetto) of five was lost; yet the remaining four seem self-sufficient to form a serenade.

"The work is written for a chamber ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass, ..... but is often performed by string orchestras."  

Mvt.1 Allegro 
Mvt.4 Rondo Allegro
