In 1771, in the midst of a successful tour of Italy, Mozart received a commission to write a dramatic serenata for the marriage of the archduke Ferdinand. This serenata so overshadowed Hasse's new opera compased far the salle occasion that Hasse is reported to have said the prophetic words: "This boy will cause us all to be forgotten." In the same year Mozart composed his first divertimento (K.113), the first of some 23 that he composed during his lifetime. He was not yet 16 years of age.

The 17 works in this edition range from K.1l3 to K.334 and span the years 1771 to 1779. These short, sparkling, brilliant pieces were created for a typical ensemble of 6 to 14 players for strings, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, horns, flute, trumpets, drums. They have been reproduced from the definitive Breitkopf & Härtel complete works edition.
Often recorded and performed, the 17 Divertimenti are increasingly popular with music lover and essential for Mozart enthusiasts. All the music has been reproduced in a size large enough to be read easily, with large noteheads, wide margins, and pages that lie flat and will not fall out. This edition is practical for almost any use, whether as a study guide, a reference, or a companion for more knowledgeable and enjoyable music listening.
