Each season is represented: spring begins the piece summerappears at bar 13 autumn at bar 26 winter at bar 39 with spring returning at bar 49.

A letter from Wolfgang to Padre Martini dated 4 September 1776 informs us that the piece was written in January or February 1775 in Munich at the request of the Prince Elector of Bavaria and was performed there on 5 March. Drawing closely on the carefully wrought works of Mozart’s Salzburg predecessors and incorporating a motif from Johann Ernst Eberlein’s “Benedixisti Domine” this contrapuntal masterpiece unites polyphony with expressive tension-laden harmonies.
