Complete Serenades, Series II, in Full Score

Wofgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791): Serentatas completas, serie I. Partitura general.

Some of Mozart's most enduring and popular music was originally composed for relatively minor occasions-garden parties, weddings, birthdays, home concerts for his friends and the like. Among these compositions were the multi-movement instrumental pieces he called "serenades." Written in the 1770s and 1780s, they include such favorite compositions as Eine kleine Nachtmusik, the Serenata Notturna, A Musical Joke, the "Haffner" Serenade and the "Posthorn" Serenade. This two-volume set contains all of Mozart's notturnos as well as the complete serenades.

Reprinted from the authoritative Breitkopf & Härtel edition, these effervescent works are now readily available in these two sturdy, attractive, inexpensive volumes, inviting musicians and music lovers to savor and study their characteristic Mozartean clarity, invention and charm.
