Serenade No. 6 (Mozart)

The Serenade No. 6 in D major, K. 239, Serenata notturna, was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Salzburg, in 1776, for a group of four soloists and orchestra. Mozart's father, Leopold Mozart, wrote the title and a January 1776 date on the original manuscript.

It has three movements.

It is a concertante work for a group of four soloists, two violins, viola and double bass, and a string orchestra with two violins, one viola, one cello, and one timpani.

The title Serenata notturna has also been used by Robin Holloway for a work for four horns and orchestra (his opus 52, 1982).
