Critical Reception

It is thought that Eine kleine Nachtmusik was likely not performed during Mozart's lifetime, with the manuscript first appearing in print in 1827.

Composition History

Some scholars believe the three Divertimenti were composed so Mozart would have orchestral works ready for performance during his 1772 trip to Italy, leading to their alternate designation as 'Salzburg Symphonies'.
