In this string trio arrangement for violin, viola and cello the sounding key is C. A tempo of 132 quarter note (crotchet) beats to the minute is used in the realisation. Individual instruments parts are appended to the full score. This movement demonstrates the essential elements of Mozart’s compositional style in a work accessible to a wide range of instruments and instrument combinations. The realisations at times just lack the rhythmic lightness that is required in a Mozart performance. His music demands playing that is accurate, consistent and sensitive to style. The Divertimento (and the related Viennese Sonatinas) are relatively easy works that are well worth exploring. Accompaniments are in place enabling each of the string players to practice as part of an ensemble. They play at 128 & 132 quarter note or crotchet beats per minute and the repeats are not in place. The music editor suggests omitting the trill in the viola part in bar 26.
