List of symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Although the last symphony of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - the traditional numbering of the old Mozart Edition following - wears the number 41, can actually be around 60 symphonies prove by his hand, of which, however, some have been preserved or only fragmentary.
Different counting methods stir not only the fact that the manuscripts of some early works were rediscovered in recent decades. Rather, there is also the problem of differentiation from other plant species, because the symphony was Mozart's creative period no uniform genus, but they developed only to work by Mozart and his contemporaries. Opera overtures were long time still referred to as " Sinfonia " (especially in Italy), symphonies vice versa as " overtures " so that the distinction often remains vague. Mozart himself, for example, complements the two-movement overtures to the operas Ascanio in Alba, Il sogno di Scipione, La finta giardiniera and Il re pastore by adding your own conclusion sets (KV 120, KV 163, KV 121 and KV 102) to three-movement symphonies, the could be listed separately at concerts, while eg the overtures to Mitridate, re di Ponto, and Lucio Silla are created as Italian opera symphony in three movements from the outset. A typical overture -like character with merging records found, eg, in the Symphonies KV 74, KV 181 and KV 318 In some serenades (KV 204, KV 250, KV 320, KV 385) was reversed: here is by Mozart reduction to four sets symphonies formed.
The following table lists the works of Mozart, which are usually regarded as symphonies. The numbering in the column Köchelverzeichnis (KV) first calls the commonly used number. The numbering in the KV6 column is the 6th KV- edition. So corresponds to the recent chronology.
