About this song
A serenade for strings whose title means "a little night music". Its bold rising opening is heard everywhere, from adverts to the film "Amadeus". This page has the complete first-violin melody, with all repeats, from start to finish.

The sixteenth-note triplets here and there are ornaments. Start at 50% speed and play only the main notes.
It runs over six minutes. Learn it in loops of four to eight bars.
