The traditionally used name of the work comes from the entry Mozart made for it in his personal catalog, which begins, "Eine kleine Nacht-Musik". As Zaslaw and Cowdery point out, Mozart almost certainly was not giving the piece a special title, but only entering in his records that he had completed a little serenade,[6] in German, a "Ständchen".

The work was not published until about 1827, long after Mozart's death, by Johann André in Offenbach am Main.

Also features in the films: Alien (1971) and Batman (1989)
