Larghetto in C for strings

The Larghetto in C, K. 525a for two violins, viola, violoncello and basso was originally planned as the slow movement of the Kleine Nachtmusik, K. 525; this can clearly be seen from the instrumentation, the type of paper used and Mozart’s handwriting. However, Mozart broke off the composition after just 16 bars and replaced the piece with the well-known dance-like Romance.
