Mozart’s Rondo in C major, K. 373 is a charming, roughly five-to-six-minute piece for solo violin and orchestra, composed in Vienna in April 1781. It was one of the last works Mozart wrote while still in service to the Archbishop of Salzburg.
It was written for violinist Antonio Brunetti, featuring a lively Allegretto grazioso tempo, a cheerful main theme, and contrasting, sometimes minor-key, episodes.
