The Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, K. 525 was
written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787. The work is

written for a chamber ensemble of two violins, viola,

completed in Vienna on 10 August 1787, around the time
Mozart was working on the second act of his opera Don
Giovanni. It is not known why it was composed.
Hildesheimer (1991, 215), noting that most of Mozart's
serenades were written on commission, suggests that
this serenade, too, was a commission, whose origin and
first performance were not committed to record. (from
