Kyrie in F major, K. 33

The Kyrie in F major, K. 33, is a sacred composition for choir and strings by a ten-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, dated June 12, 1766.

It was written while the composer was in Paris with his family, with the intent to promote his image as a child prodigy.

The piece shows the influence of Johann Schobert[1] and French church music.

At times, the first violin unites with the canto, in order that the leading highest part may stand out more clearly.

[5] During his stay in Paris, Mozart was also able to perform concerts at the court of Louis XV due to the influence of the German writer Friedrich Melchior von Grimm.
