The Serenade no. 5, K. 204/213a was written in1775 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for ceremonies at the University of Salzburg. The work is very similar to K. 203 serenade composed for Salzburg the previous summer. The March in D, K. 215/213b, was used as an introduction or exit for this work. Like most of his orchestral serenades, a symphony was arranged from a subset of the serenade's movements. The "Serenade Symphony" for this work consists of movements one, five, six and seven (the non-concerto movements). The serenade is scored for two oboes (doubling flutes), bassoon, two horns, two trumpets and strings.
