Title: 2 Kontratänze, KV 603

Composer: W. A. Mozart, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin; Violin 2 or Viola; Cello

Printout: 7 pages

Note: Though designated as “two contradances,” KV 603 has changes of key, meter, and tempo that divide it into four distinct sections and give it the quality of a miniature divertimento.

This work pairs well with Mozart’s 3 German Dances, KV 605; and Haydn’s Three German Dances.
