Mozart - "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" K525 - Mov. 1/4

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART (1756-1791)

Serenade for strings in G major "Eine kleine nachtmusik" [A little night music] K525

1. Allegro

Performed by the English Concert
Directed by Andrew Manze

*Mozart listed this work as having five movements in his own catalogue of his works ("Allegro - Minuet and Trio - Romance, Minuet and Trio and Finale"). The second movement in his listing, a minuet and trio, was long thought lost and no one knows if it was Mozart or someone else who removed it. Musicologist Alfred Einstein has suggested, however, that a minuet in Piano Sonata in B-flat, K.498a, is the missing movement. It's likely we will never know for sure.

where did you get this from?

it isn't in the right key!

[HARMONICO101]

This performance is using a classical era tuning. I believe it is around A=430 Hz.

This song is a famous piece that still is beautiful to listen to. It helps to relax and takes you back to the 19th century when Beethoven and Mozart, and other famous pianist and conductors were around. If i had a time machine, i would go back in time and take a picture of Beethoven as well as Mozart, that would be amazing.

[HARMONICO101]

Not to nitpick, but Mozart was 18th century (1700s). :)

@tovadorfman thats half correct the instruments are tuned a little bit different than usual

[Whodacky123]

This is the song I have been looking for. It's my most favorite by Mozart. Well, my most favorite classical piece on earth! Thank you man.

[moltoallegro19]

The violas in my orchestra always tune their instruments in classical era tuning :P

@JennyTS13 No disrespect but if the Romantic period started in 1825 then where do fit almost all of the works of Beethoven? He died in 1820's. Peace.

This is one of the best songs ever written! Better even than Edgar Winter Frankenstein but only a little ;) I wish I could compose music even half this good. Mozart crapped things with more talent than most other composers had in total.
