Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Violin Concerto No. 5 In A: Orchester mit Solo

Mozart composed the majority of his works for solo String Instruments and Orchestra during the years 1773 1779. Especially important are the years 1773 and 1775, which witnessed the creation of the five concertos forViolin and Orchestra as well as several single movements for the same scoring. The reasons for this flourish of activity are partly that Mozart, who still occupied the post of concertmaster to the Prince-Archbishop, waseither obliged or inspired to provide such works for special occasions during this long period spent in Salzburg. But another reason was certainly the possibility of experimenting with all the new compositional techniquesacquiredduring his third trip to Italy and his stay of several months in Vienna from July to September 1773.
