Divertimenti (Mozart wrote many) are just what the word sounds like. These were "tafelmusik" -- or, dinner music -- for the Archbishop of Salzburg.

Whether or not they improved his digestion is uncertain; what is clear is that these were all high-quality works -- this one written for six woodwinds.

Mozart was 20 when he composed this.
