Mozart composed his two ??Lodron Serenades? for open-air performances on the name day of Countess Antonia Lodron in June 1776 and 1777. Their bright ??al fresco? character is immediately recognisable. Alfred Einstein considered these two divertimentos to be ??among the purest, gayest, most satisfying, and most perfect that ever assumed musical form?.For both works Mozart chose an ensemble of two horns, two violins, viola and bass instruments. However, the second Lodron Serenade, the Divertimento in B-flat major K. 287, stands out from this sextet format by assigning a remarkably virtuosic solo role to the first violin, from the richly diverse opening movement to the finale with its almost ironic recitative and an exhilarating passage on the folk song ??D??Bäurin hat d??Katz verlorn?. Mozart himself played first violin in the 1777 performance. Later he wrote, ??They all opened their eyes! I played as though I were the finest fiddler in all Europe?.

The Divertimento K. 247 in F-flat major was composed for the name day of Countess Antonia Lodron, and was first performed on 18 June 1776 in Salzburg. The little March K. 248 was presumably used to accompany the arrival and departure of the musicians on that occasion - it shares the same date of composition as the Divertimento, is in the same key, and is scored for the same instruments. Mozart later returned several times to this “First Lodron night music”, and posterity appreciated it too: the Divertimento was published just a few years after his death, and was also available in numerous 19th century copies. The only authorised sources for our Urtext edition, however, were the two autographs. Here, incidentally, the lowest part is designated “Basso,” which leaves open the question as to whether it was to be played by a cello, a double bass or both - a typical case of “as you like it” in the music of the 18th century!
