Three Divertimenti for Strings (K.136-138) (Study Score)

Mozart Three Divertimenti for Strings (K.136-138) (Study Score)

The three Quartet-Divertimenti K.136-138 (125a-c) were written in Salzburg in 1772.  The autograph, which was rediscovered in 1905, bears the title Divertimento as well as the instrumentation Violini, Viole [sicl, Basso in Mozart's hand.

The much lighter style of these three Quartet-Divertimenti - in comparison with the six Quartets K.155-160 composed only a short while later also lends weight to the theory that these works were possibly conceived for string orchestra.
