【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Divertimento in D major, K.136/125a - 3. Presto (For Organ - Schopen). This beautiful piece was played by Michael Schopen. It has common licence (CC BY 3.0 Attribution 3.0 Unported), and is provided through musopen.org.

Mozart composed his small series in early 1772, and if we consider them to be string quartets, they are among his earliest works in this genre. In some respects, they adhere to Italian models. Mozart and his father first travelled to Italy on 13 December 1769, staying for 15 months. The journey naturally made a decisive impact on the impressionable young Mozart. It was a kind of unorthodox 'conservatoire' for him. He was able to embrace Italian musical styles and composition techniques, which were indispensable in that era. In March 1770, he met Sammartini in Milan. Sammartini was the president of the local composers' circle and his works provided Mozart with models for string quartets. The melodic world within the slow movements of these three Divertimenti is profoundly Italianate.

Other influences can also be detected in these 1772 compositions; Mozart was clearly familiar with the string quartets of Michael and Joseph Haydn. The leading role of the first violin, the prominence given to the central section of the movement and its development, and the richness of modulation are all hallmarks of the Haydn brothers' work. Mozart's natural instinct was to assimilate and integrate every influence into his own style, and he could not resist such a 'contemporary' solution. The closing movement of the D major Divertimento also follows in Michael Haydn's footsteps. In this movement, the development section takes on greater importance, and Mozart introduces a brief contrapuntal section that would later become a cliché of the later Viennese classical style.
