This Serenade, composed 1782 in Vienna for Prince Liechtenstein, is one of the most famous pieces for wind octet besides KV 375. It is known under the appellation 'Nacht Musique' and is an inspired fusion of the light mood of a Serenade with sophisticated contrapuntal writing, for example in the canonic treatment in the Trio of the Minuet.
