Mozart wrote a good number of serenades of all shapes and sizes, for many instrumentations and for a variety of situations; ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik’ is possibly the best known K361 is in a class of its own. Seven movements and 13 individual wind instruments, including two Basse Horns, a kind of Alto Clarinet, four Horns and a Contra Bassoon.
This was no ‘occasional’ piece; it contains some of Mozart’s most beautiful and inventive music, written for an event at which Mozart was eager to show his paces.
Come along to enjoy the Genereation Project exhibition accompanied by live music performed live by local musicians.
