ExclusiveMozart: Divertimento No.7 in D major - IV. Menuetto

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Divertimento No.7 in D major - IV. Menuetto. This beautiful piece was preserved European Archive. It has common licence (Public Domain Mark 1.0 Universal), and is provided through musopen.org.

This piece was written in 1773. The serenade played a significant role among Mozart's compositions in Salzburg. Works of this kind, synonymous with the titles divertimento and cassation, were composed for open-air performances during the summer months and were often designed to accompany a specific event, such as a wedding. This piece calls for two horns in D, a bassoon and strings.

Here you can hear an older recording of the piece. I like the way it is played, and while the technical quality of the recording is not the best, the musicians' intention is priceless. What would you prioritise? A perfect recording with a more modern interpretation, or a recording from a long time ago that allows you to hear how musicians from another era interpreted it?
