Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major), K. 525, is a 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The German title means "a little serenade".  View some of this video of Eine Kleine Nacht Music - where the musicians are dressed in costumes of Mozart's era - then see if you can follow this listening chart.  

Listen for loud (forte)  and soft (piano) and fast and slow. Can you hear parts which are repeated?

Here's what it looks like if you were playing it on the piano. This is another way of showing what the notes look like as they are played. 

This is a funny version of Eine Klein Nachtmusik played by people using objects in an office. 

Here's another graphic representation of the music. You can see what the different sections of the orchestra are playing and how they work together to make the overall sound.  Can you name any of the notes? 

Notation: 
Let's learn and revise note names. This will be especially helpful to recorder and glockenspiel players.
