Mozart's purpose for writing the Serenade in D, K 203, is up for debate. Either it was written for his patron's name day, or it was written for a graduation ceremony. Who knows? What we do know is that it is a light and flitting affair with three minuets for good dancing and celebration. It is played here by the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and soloist Iona Brown. Sir Neville Marriner directs.
