Yaknow, I always wondered why he called it a little night music, when it's about the msot perfect morning music ever written? I mean it's jsut perfect to wake up to.

Wolfy wasn't the stuffy sort who wrote sitting upright in a chair fully dressed in the latest Veineese fashion thinking of nobility & the higher pursuit of virtue for its own sake. If you listen to all four movements it tells the story of a man who has gone clubbing in Vienna in the 18th century.

He hits the town to announce his presence (first movement), finds a little vixen & falls for her, woos her/tries to impress her (second movement), said vixen plays hard to get (third movement) & finally the last leg of the chase to sustain the Latin nulla puella negat (fourth movement). There is rumored to be a 5th movement which may provide the result of the outing but it's questionable as to whether it's extent. I'm sure that if Wolfy had made a vid for this serenade it'd make what the girls in those Ratt videos wore seem modest.

But now that I think about it for musicians that is waking up isn't it? :) Or maybe I just need to get out more...
