Music #111 -Mozart Serenade No.10

Serenade No.10 for winds in B-flat major

- aka 'Gran Partita' <大組曲>, K.361

Scored for 12 winds and 1 string bass, it has had its name misspelled; it should have been 'Grand Partita'.

Mvt.1 Largo. Molto Allegro
Mvt.2 Menuetto
Mvt.3 Adagio   ***
Mvt.4 Menuetto. Allegretto
Mvt.5 Romance. Adagio
Mvt.6 Tema con variazioni
Mvt.7 Molto Allegro

*** The third movement was described by Salieri as 'Voice of God' in the Amadeus movie:
“... This was a music I'd never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing. It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God...”
