Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart´s (1756-1791) divertimenti, along with the serenade, had a large place among the works he composed during his youth in Salzburg. Generally more relaxed multi-movement pieces, the divertimenti were flexible, both for outdoor and indoor performances, though they retained a chamber-like intimacy either way, and they were customarily written to celebrate a specific occasion or celebration. Mozart composed the DIVERTIMENTO No. 7 in D, K. 205/167a (also called LODRONISCHE NACHTMUSIK No. 2) in 1777 for family friend and Salzburg aristocrat Countess Maria Atonia Lodron´s name day. The six movement work was first performed on June 13, 1777, at an informal outdoor party. Instrumentation: 0.0.0.0: 2.0.0.0: Str (4-4-3-3-3 in set). Reprint edition.
