Referred to as “A Very Little Night Music”, the Serenade in C K 648 for string trio, is a previously unknown piece of music that was discovered by researchers of the International Mozarteum Foundation in the Carl Ferdinand Becker collection of the Municipal Music Library in Leipzig, Germany, while compiling the latest edition of the Köchel catalogue, the authoritative survey of Mozart’s oeuvre. Composed by Mozart for his sister, Maria Anna (Nannerl to friends and family), when he was in his early teens, the piece dates back to the mid to late 1760s and consists of seven miniature movements for two violins and bass. It was introduced to the public on 19 September 2024 by the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg which oversaw the research and authentification under the direction of Dr. Ulrich Leisinger. How quickly the adoption and evolution of Mozart’s early work has progressed, is exemplified by a recording in the city of Leipzig where the manuscript of A Very Little Night Music was rediscovered. When an unprecedented wave of public interest way beyond Leipzig and Salzburg ensued, the renowned Gewandhausorchester Leipzig decided at short notice to devote a portion of their already scheduled sessions with their former music director and honorary conductor Herbert Blomstedt to recording the Serenade in C. The orchestra version mirrors the evolution of Mozart’s famous Serenade in G “A Little Night Music” (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik) which was originally conceived for chamber ensemble as well, but is today even more commonly known in a string orchestra version.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
