Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra (Mozart)

The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E♭ major, K. 364 (320d), was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

However, modern violists that choose to play scordatura, the way Mozart originally composed it, will more easily project over the orchestra.

He rates as best to date one by Iona Brown, violinist and conductor, and Lars Anders Tomter, viola, with the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, Chandos CHAN9695.

In 1808 an uncredited arrangement of the piece for a string sextet was published by Sigmund Anton Steiner [de] under the title Grande Sestetto Concertante.

[3] Variations on the slow second movement were used for the soundtrack to the 1988 Peter Greenaway film Drowning by Numbers by composer Michael Nyman.
