Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the 'Divertimento for wind ensemble in E flat major, K. Anh. 226 (Anh. C 17.01)' in Salzburg, Austria, in 1776. The piece was not published during Mozart's lifetime, and its authenticity has been questioned. However, it is widely accepted as a genuine work of Mozart. The 'Divertimento' is scored for two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, and two horns. It consists of three movements: 1. Allegro 2. Menuetto 3. Andante The first movement, Allegro, is in sonata form and features a lively and energetic theme. The second movement, Menuetto, is a dance-like piece in triple meter. The third movement, Andante, is a slow and lyrical piece that showcases the beauty of the wind instruments. The 'Divertimento' is characterized by its light and playful nature, typical of the divertimento genre. It is also notable for its use of wind instruments, which were not as commonly used in chamber music during Mozart's time. The piece is relatively simple in structure and melody, but it is still a charming and enjoyable work. Overall, the 'Divertimento for wind ensemble in E flat major, K. Anh. 226 (Anh. C 17.01)' is a delightful example of Mozart's chamber music. Its light and playful nature, combined with its use of wind instruments, make it a unique and enjoyable work.
