Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the 'Divertimento No. 5 in C major, K. 187 (Anh. C 17.12)' in Salzburg, Austria, in 1773. The piece was premiered in the same year, likely at one of the many social gatherings that Mozart and his family attended. The 'Divertimento No. 5' is a three-movement work, typical of the divertimento genre. The first movement, marked Allegro, is in sonata form and features a lively and cheerful melody. The second movement, marked Andante grazioso, is a graceful and lyrical minuet. The final movement, marked Allegro molto, is a fast and energetic rondo that showcases Mozart's skillful use of counterpoint. The 'Divertimento No. 5' is characterized by its light and playful nature, typical of the divertimento genre. The piece is scored for a small ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello, which allows for a more intimate and chamber-like sound. The melodies are simple and catchy, with Mozart's signature use of repetition and variation. Overall, the 'Divertimento No. 5 in C major, K. 187 (Anh. C 17.12)' is a charming and delightful work that showcases Mozart's mastery of the divertimento genre. Its light and playful nature make it a popular choice for social gatherings and concerts alike.
