Serenade No. 5 (Mozart)

5 in D major, K. 204/213a was written on 5 August 1775 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for ceremonies at the University of Salzburg.

[1] The work is very similar to the serenade K. 203, composed for Salzburg the previous summer.

The serenade is scored for two oboes (doubling flutes), bassoon, two horns in D, A, and G, two trumpets in D, and strings.

There are seven movements: The March in D, K. 215/213b, was used as an introduction or exit for this work.

Mozart probably played the solo violin part himself.
