- This one-movement work was first performed in Salzburg in 1776.1
- It is likely that Mozart himself performed as violin soloist in this work and in the other violin-concerto type pieces he wrote in Salzburg in this period. He was employed as Concertmaster for the Archbishop Colloredo (read more about that here)2
- This piece may have been intended as an extra movement to swap into his violin concertos when desired.3
