From the Collection:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart's "Haffner" Symphony began as a serenade written in 1782 to accompany festivities in Salzburg at the ennoblement of Sigmund Haffner, a boyhood friend of the composer. Mozart later turned the serenade into a symphony; the new version was performed at Mozart's first public concert in Vienna, on 23 March 1783.
