G大調第三小提琴協奏曲，第一樂章的介紹

VIOLIN CONCERTO NO 3 IN G MAJOR K216
The G major concerto, dated September 12, 1775, was performed in Salzburg shortly after that date, most likely with Mozart himself as soloist
The orchestra specified for this work is Mozart's customary Salzburg ensemble of oboes, horns and strings, the only deviation being the substitution of flutes for oboes in the slow movement (in Mozart's time it was expected that the oboists would simply switch to flutes), and yet what remarkable colors there are in this music, and what warmth and maturity in both sound and substance.
Intimate lyricism is the keynote of this concerto, but elegance and vivacity are part of the mix as well, as the springy opening phrase makes clear at the outset. If the first movement is a profusion of melodic and rhythmic wonders, the second, the Adagio, is the crown of the work, a luminous nocturne in which the solo role exhibits on the highest level both the great warmth and the elegance of design that characterize the entire work with such seeming effortlessness. The effect of sheer enchantment is enhanced by the substitution of flutes for oboes in this movement alone.
The concluding Rondeau (Mozart specified this French term for his violin concerto finales) is a sequence of captivating vignettes, among them a beguiling little serenade by the soloist with pizzicato accompaniment from the orchestral strings, and a musette-like citation of a popular tune before the proceedings come to an unceremonious close in which the winds have the last gentle word.
