This is followed by the coda which ends the piece. The recapitulation's first theme is unusual because only its last two bars return in the parallel minor.

The work was not published until about 1827, long after Mozart's death, by Johann André in Offenbach am Main. As Zaslaw and Cowdery point out, Mozart almost certainly was not giving the piece a special title, but only entering in his records that he had completed a little serenade.
The traditionally used name of the work comes from the entry Mozart made for it in his personal catalog, which begins, "Eine kleine Nacht-Musik".

The serenade was completed in Vienna on 10 August 1787, around the time Mozart was working on the second act of his opera Don Giovanni. The serenade is one of Mozart's most famous works.Ĭomposition, publication, and reception The work is written for an ensemble of two violins, viola, cello and double bass, but is often performed by string orchestras.
