"A piece" for Elector Maximilian III Joseph of Bavaria
sorted in:
From a letter written by Leopold Mozart on November 10, 1766, we learn that Mozart had composed “a piece” (“ein Stück”), KV 639 at the request of elector Maximilian III Joseph of Bavaria during lunch for which they had been invited the previous day. None of the many hypotheses regarding the nature of this piece could hitherto be verified.
