Get his Clarinet Quintet as well.

Fill in all the blanks from Nos. 17 to 27, w/ possible priority to Nos. 24
and 25 (the latter, relatively rarely performed, being my favorite!)

Run, do not walk, to wherever you get your recordings and obtain his
Divertimento in Eb, K563, for violin, viola, and cello

There's also No. 25, the "other" g minor symphony, a worthy acquisition,
even if *Amadeus* accorded it misplaced pride of preference
>Opera
>Marriage of Figaro
Two words: *Don Giovanni*

His quintets K. 515/516 (the latter being the sublime g minor quintet) and
K.593; his quartets dedicated to Haydn and the three he wrote thereafter;
Serenade in Bb, K.361, for 13 Winds (Grand Partita); in preference to his
Wind Serenade in c minor, K.388, I'd suggest his string quintet arrangement
of the same work, K.406
Enjoy.
