The Serenade No. 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.
Structure
The serenade is scored for two
oboes (doubling
flutes ),
bassoon , two
horns , two
trumpets and
strings . There are seven
movements :
Allegro assai, 4/4
Andante moderato in
A major , 3/4
Allegro in A major, 2/2
Menuetto & Trio, 3/4
[Andante] in
G major , 2/4
Menuetto and Trio, 3/4
Andantino Grazioso, 2/4 – Allegro, 3/8
The March in D, K. 215/213b, was used as an introduction or exit for this work.
[1]
The second, third and fourth movements all feature the solo violin prominently, forming a three-movement
violin concerto within the serenade. This is similar to the K. 203 serenade from the previous year. Mozart probably played the solo violin part himself.
[1]
Like most of his orchestral serenades, a symphony was arranged from a subset of the serenade's movements. The "Serenade Symphony" for this work consists of movements one, five, six and seven (the non-concerto movements).
