As was the case with so many of Mozart's works, this delightful romp through a sunlit meadow was composed for a fancy dress ball.  Mozart regularly performed his own music for these occasions.  For four-hand works he partnered with his sister Maria Anna (nicknamed "Nannerl"), herself a highly gifted musician.

The MP3 file has one measure of lead-in beats for each movement,  preceded by a short pause between movements.   An optional program suppresses all repeats for a shorter playing time.
