The production for instrumental ensembles includes several
divertimenti,
cassations,
notturni,
serenades,
marches,
dances, and a
quodlibet, besides, of course, his
symphonies. Mozart's production for orchestra is written for string ensembles (like the early Divertimenti K. 136–138), as well as for wind ensembles and the varied combinations of strings and winds.

Dances Mozart left a huge production of
dances for orchestra in different genres, including more than 100
minuets, over 30
contra dances, over 50
allemandes (
Teitsch,
Ländler, or German Dances), a
gavotte (French folk dance) and
ballet and
pantomime music. In his production of minuets, Mozart generally followed Haydn's example, preferring the slow character of the dance. Allemandes written between 1787 and 1791 were mainly for public balls in Vienna. In the Contredanse production, also written mainly in Vienna, some examples of program music are found, like
Il Temporale, K. 534,
La Bataille, K. 535,
Canary, K. 600/5, etc.
