"The Divertimento in B flat, K. 287, is a genuine divertimento, complete with two minuets, an ingratiating theme-and-variations movement and a poignant 'Adagio', all sandwiched between two 'Allegro' movements. The strings are bolstered by two horns, which add a substantial orchestral timbre. Mozart composed the work in 1777 for a generous Salzburg patron, Countess Antonia Lodron, for whom he composed several other pieces. He was evidently pleased with this one because he performed it more than once in Munich a few months later.
The work is a masterly blend of artful craftsmanship and puckish humor. The two-chord opening salvo sets a grand tone that is carried through the first 'Allegro,' except for a brief reference toward the end to an Austrian country dance. But the heraldic tone returns with the brief coda.
The second movement opens with a catchy theme voiced by the first violin. Each of the six variations that follow has its own character -- the third features the horns, the sixth is full of fast fiddling over legato horns -- but all are cast in the same elegant 'Andante grazioso' of the theme's first statement. There's a little joke here, though: That theme was familiar to Mozart's contemporaries as the tune of a popular song, 'Heißa, hurtig, ich bin Hans und bin ohne Sorge,' which translates roughly as, 'Hey! My name is Hans, and I haven't a care in the world.'
The first menuetto begins as a stately dance, but gives way to a G minor trio that foreshadows the more profound voice of Mozart's later years. The 'Adagio,' for strings only, is full of lyricism and gentle longing. This extended section is the heart of the work.
The second minuet moves away from the sorrowing mood of the 'Adagio,' but hardly prepares us for the witty finale. Marked 'Andante -- Allegro molto,' the last section opens with portentous chords and a lugubrious recitative for the solo violin. Suddenly the fiddle reverses its field and launches into a sprightly tune that Mozart's listeners recognized as a folk song called 'The farmer's wife has lost the cat.' The first violin then leads the ensemble on a virtuoso fling (Mozart claimed to have played this part to dazzling effect in Munich) that includes several other popular airs. The 'Allegro' comes to a brilliant end -- after a sly reprise of the somber opening recitative -- with the farmer's wife still looking for her cat." - Harvey B. Loomis

you can argue on everything, but not on this. Mozart is pure magic.
Wonderfully Austrian. Everytime I go to Vienna i love waking the beautiful streets of my mother's home town and just wonder what it must have been like here in the days of mozart in this beautiful city
Listen to Mozart every day to brighten my spirits in this crazy world due to this pandemic and its’ effects on everyone!
Mozart always keeps me in a positive mood. Thank you Wolfgang, if you're reading! 😉❤️
Das ist so sehr schon...Это так очень красиво. Как можно услышать что-то невероятно прекрасное. Спустя пятьдесят лет я все еще поражен. Thank you so much.
The painting's dark clouds are perfect for Ken Sillito's solo in the adagio.
The Countess was one lucky woman!
Tutte le composizioni di intrattenimento sono un miracolo della creatività di Mozart. La combinazione archi fiati è la migliore. Questo bellissimo divertimento con Hafner e Postorn sono superlative. Grazie Mozart! Ci riconcili con la vita con questi” sogni”.
What a versatile composer Mozart is ！
Mozart is always a journey in dreams
Presumably the virtuosic 1st Violin Part was written for himself to perform and/or Antonio Brunetti who had introduc’d the new (akin to our modern, less arch shap’d, more flatten’d) violin bow which was introduc’d into the Court of Salzburg late 1774-no doubt owing to the great interest of Leopold Mozart who had written his famous ViolinSchul Book waaay back in 1755/1756)-I notice the very operatic Accompagnato Recitativo opening of Movement Number 6 (in B-flat) suggests that Opera was on M.’s mind at the time, or as he wrote to his father in 1778 from Paris (‘You’ve always known my very greatest desire in the whole world is to compose Operas-comic or tragic it makes no nevermind-just hearing an Opera Orchestra tuning their instruments sends me into such fits of Ecstasy I can hardly sit still...)

Finale is so magnificent!
Gorgeous, as always. "Love Is A Rebellious Bird" brought me here.
Me too! I just finished it! What a story! Actually, never read such a thing, so well written and so so connected with music! I heard all of it through all of the chapters, and now I'm listening to all of it all over again! Beautiful, simply beautiful. Sorry, but I had to share this with someone! xx
Gimena Bulacio Baez I know!! It's one of my all time favorites, it really is. It's one of those you remember for a long time, and it's very memorable. I've never actually read something so infused with music before and it was just lovely :) The Don Juan piece really stuck with me
Same!
Same! I could not stop thinking about how briliant Louis was there as a violinist.
And three years later I’m here for the same reason,hahaha. Just rereading that masterpiece.
Maravilhoso 👏👏😍
Formidable, como siempre
That Adagio - to me, this piece definitely presages the Romantic Era in Classical music.
Some of his works are in fact considered "pre-romantic" and I do believe Beethoven invented romanticism because he studied Mozart. Another beautiful adagio is the one in n.23 piano concerto. But I've read in Mozart's times Adagio was a faster tempo. Also musicians played with different tuning, 420 I think. I had found on UA-cam a version played authentically of n.23 but I can't find it anymore.
@@nickn2794 Murray Perahia's Mozart 23 Adagio is sheer perfection for me.
Thanks for posting.
Yes, that superb melody and tone are there! In this performance the energy, emotion, that bursting with colour & life is missing in the divertimento!
Lovely!
I especially love the Adagio for is setamentallity and classic grace, all the more wonderful when you consider the age of Mozart, 21. He must have had some flame, maybe the countess herself. Although later on Mozart would make wind music his erotic music, this piece has that innocent grace and passion that befits an adolescent.
Amen, Bruce.
I doubt that Mozart had "erotic" on his mind as much as 21st century men do. Mozart was not of this world. He was much higher, his mind was not in his genitals.

The Adagio . . .
I have a dream that one day I find a Mozart piece that is not good, man this Mozart is so perfect
A record review magazine I once read said that some of his German Dances were not very good, and the reviewer also trashed his opera about Titus.
Senan Salam Mozart symphonies aren't that great, except for 25, 29, 35, 40 and 41, the rest are pretty good
@@larrycox5277 Make up your own mind.
@@biomuseum6645 I agree about the symphonies and also some other things.
@@biomuseum6645 I'm not sure how anyone could think that symphonies 38 and 39 'aren't that great'.
'Divertimento' means 'Fun' in English.
We say 'Diversión' in Spanish, that is fun, too.
magnifique :)
Ce Divertimento fut composé juste après le Concerto jeunehomme il fut dédié pour la comtesse Lodron pour Quatuor à cordes et deux Cors , il réintègre le style galant avec plus de maîtrise et d'aisance , le premier violon tend de nouveau, à une suprématie concertante,et la poésie du chant,du style musique de chambre .
Buena versión. Me encanta
beautifully bravurose :-)
And to think he was barely 21 ....
- and that he played the solo violin part while conducting the chamber orchestra... Regular human beings have difficulty relating to this kind of extraordinary genius.
Esta musica evoca lo empireo
35:38 9th piano concerto reference
+Fausto de Andrés Cardelle Oh, yes, definitely I hear that. The main motif of the fourth variation in the second movement is later used by Beethoven in the last movement his Piano Trio in C Minor, Op. 1 no. 3.
Mozart...uniquelly European native
Too many adds interrupting the music ☹️
Download 'Ad-Blocker'... ever since I did, no more adds!

Londron? lol
Vids
/the sound stage for these Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Chamber Ensemble recordings is just dreadful...
2:20 The worst "edit" on a professional recording I have ever heard. How can people expect us not to hear that?! They must take us as idiots. Too bad, because the playing on the CD is wonderful.
what do you mean?
haha, they didn't want to repeat...time is money :D
starwarsjunkie7777 what is “ bad edit”?..
Please explain,u seem to know more....
You're right. Nice recording but that edit is pretty bad, especially considering the staggering level of digital audio technology available today.
Who cares!!!???
To think you would ruin such statuesque music with advertisement every three minutes. What are you, nuts? Sorry, thumbs down..RKBiv
