Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was one of the most influential, popular and prolific composers of the classical period. A child prodigy, from an early age he began composing over 600 works, including some of the most famous pieces of symphonic, chamber, operatic, and choral music.

Between 1769 and 1779 Mozart composed nine large-scale works for orchestra with the title cassation or serenade. All were composed for performance in Salzburg during the summer months, usually in the open air, and were designed to accompany and celebrate a particular social event, like the progression of science students from the preliminary part of their course to the secondary.
An orchestra was organized and a Finalmusik, as it was termed, was chosen.
The performing routine was as follows: the musicians assembled at dusk, marched to the sound of music to the Archbishop's summer residence in the Mirabell Palace, played their serenade, returned across the Salzach bridge to the Kollegienplatz and performed their serenade for a second time in front of the assembled professors and students.
As Nannerl's diary suggests, serenade performances were relaxed occasions, probably with long pauses between movements. An indication of their leisurely ambience is the inclusion of several concertante movements, usually for violin but in a couple of serenades for a small group of instruments.
