Of the pieces of entertainment music from Mozart’s Salzburg years, the D major Divertimento, K.251, is the most substantial; it is also one of the few that seems to have a private rather than public origin, probably having been written for a garden party to celebrate the name-day of Mozart’s sister Nannerl in July 1776. Mozart usually attached the title “divertimento” to chamber rather than orchestral works, and it is likely that the first performance was given by a septet of oboe, two horns, two violins, viola and double bass. But there is nothing in the instrumental writing to prevent performance by a small orchestra; and indeed it has been suggested that the piece might have been played orchestrally for the end of term celebrations at the University of Salzburg.
