Sinfonia Orchestra
The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E♭ major, K. 364 (320d), was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
At the time of its composition in 1779, Mozart was on a tour of Europe that included Mannheim and Paris. It was not his first composition for two or more string soloists – he had been experimenting with the sinfonia concertante genre in the Concertone in C for two violins, K. 190, written five years earlier, and he was also working on a Sinfonia concertante in A major for violin, viola and cello, K. 320e, which was left in fragmentary form. Simon P Keefe describes this work as 'a concerto in all but name'.
A typical performance would last roughly 32 minutes.
