List of compositions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a selective list of the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, listed by genre. For a complete and chronologically ordered list, see Köchel catalogue.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) was a prolific composer and wrote in many genres. Perhaps his best-admired work is in opera, piano concerto, piano sonata, symphony, string quartet, and string quintet. Mozart also wrote many violin sonatas, and other forms of chamber music, violin concertos, and other concertos for one or more solo instruments, masses, and other religious music, organ music, masonic music, and numerous dances, marches, divertimentos, serenades, and other forms of light entertainment.

How Mozart's compositions are listed[]

  • The indication "K." or "KV" refers to Köchel Verzeichnis (Köchel catalogue), i.e. the (more or less) chronological (i.e. by composition date) catalogue of Mozart's works by Ludwig von Köchel. This catalog has been amended several times, leading to ambiguity over some KV numbers (see e.g. Symphony No. 25).
  • The compositions of Mozart listed below are grouped thematically, i.e. by type of composition. Not all thematic groups of Mozart's works have a separate numbering that is generally accepted: Köchel only numbers symphonies (1 to 41), piano concertos (1 to 27, leaving out some early transcriptions by Mozart) and a few other groups. On the other hand, for most chamber music and vocal music there is no such numbering (or at least no generally accepted one).
  • Only relatively few of Mozart's compositions have opus numbers, as not so many of his compositions were published during his lifetime, so numbering by opus number proves quite impractical for Mozart compositions.

Symphonies[]

Main article: List of symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Mozart's symphonic production covers a 24-year interval, from 1764 to 1788. According to most recent investigations, Mozart wrote not just the 41 symphonies reported in traditional editions, but up to 68 complete works of this type. However, by convention, the original numbering has been retained, and so his last symphony is still known as "No. 41". Some of the symphonies (K. 297, 385, 550) were revised by the author after their first versions.

Childhood symphonies (1764–1771)[]

These are the numbered symphonies from Mozart's early childhood.

There are also several "unnumbered" symphonies from this time period. Many of them were given numbers past 41 (but not in chronological order) in an older collection of Mozart's works (Mozart-Werke, 1877–1910, referred to as "GA"), but newer collections refer to them only by their entries in the Köchel catalogue. Many of these cannot be definitively established as having been written by Mozart (see here).

Salzburg-era symphonies (1771–1777)[]

These symphonies are sometimes subcategorized as "Early" (1771–1773) and "Late" (1773–1777), and sometimes subcategorized as "Germanic" (with minuet) or "Italian" (without minuet). None of these were printed during Mozart's lifetime.

Although not counted as "symphonies" the three Divertimenti K. 136–138, in 3-movement Italian overture style, are sometimes indicated as "Salzburg Symphonies" too.

There are also several "unnumbered" symphonies from this time period that make use of music from Mozart's operas from the same time period. They are also given numbers past 41.

There are also three symphonies from this time period that are based on three of Mozart's serenades:

Late symphonies (1778–1788)[]

  • Symphony No. 31 in D major, "Paris", K. 297/300a (1778)
  • Symphony No. 32 in G major, "Overture in the Italian style", K. 318 (1779)
  • Symphony No. 33 in B♭ major, K. 319 (1779)
  • Symphony No. 34 in C major, K. 338 (1780)
  • Symphony No. 35 in D major, "Haffner", K. 385 (1782)
  • Symphony No. 36 in C major, "Linz", K. 425 (1783)
  • Symphony No. 37 in G major, K. 444 (1783)
    For years this was categorized as a Mozart symphony, but later scholarship determined that it was actually composed by Michael Haydn (Symphony No. 25), and Mozart wrote only the slow introduction for it.
  • Symphony No. 38 in D major, "Prague", K. 504 (1786)

The three final symphonies (Nos. 39–41) were completed in about three months in 1788. It is likely that Mozart hoped to publish these three works together as a single opus, but they remained unpublished until after his death. One or two of them might have been played in public in Leipzig in 1789.

  • Symphony No. 39 in E♭ major, K. 543 (1788)
  • Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550 (1788)
  • Symphony No. 41 in C major, "Jupiter", K. 551 (1788)

Concertos[]

Piano concertos[]

Main article: Mozart piano concertos

Mozart's concertos for piano and orchestra are numbered from 1 to 27. The first four numbered concertos are early works. The movements of these concertos are arrangements of keyboard sonatas by various contemporary composers (Raupach, Honauer, Schobert, Eckart, C. P. E. Bach). There are also three unnumbered concertos, K. 107, which are adapted from piano sonatas by J. C. Bach. Concertos 7 and 10 are compositions for three and two pianos respectively. The remaining twenty-one, listed below, are original compositions for solo piano and orchestra. Among them, fifteen were written in the years from 1782 to 1786, while in the last five years Mozart wrote just two more piano concertos.

  • Piano Concerto No. 5 in D major, K. 175 (1773)
  • Piano Concerto No. 6 in B♭ major, K. 238 (1776)
  • Piano Concerto No. 7 in F major for Three Pianos, "Lodron", K. 242 (1776)

  • Piano Concerto No. 27 in B♭ major, K. 595 (1791)

There are also two isolated rondos for piano and orchestra:

The early arrangements are as follows:

Violin concertos[]

Mozart's five violin concertos were written in Salzburg around 1775, except the first around 1773. They are notable for the beauty of their melodies and the skillful use of the expressive and technical characteristics of the instrument, though Mozart likely never went through all the violin possibilities that others (e.g. Beethoven and Brahms) did after him. (Alfred Einstein notes that the violin concerto-like sections in the serenades are more virtuosic than in the works titled Violin Concertos.)

  • Violin Concerto No. 1 in B♭ major, K. 207 (1773)
  • Violin Concerto No. 2 in D major, K. 211 (1775)
  • Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, "Straßburg", K. 216 (1775)
  • Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major, K. 218 (1775)
  • Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, "Turkish", K. 219 (1775)

Mozart also wrote a concertone for two violins and orchestra, an adagio and two stand-alone rondos for violin and orchestra.

In addition, there are three works that are spuriously attributed to Mozart.

Horn concertos[]

Main article: Horn Concertos (Mozart)

Arguably the most widely played concertos for horn, the four Horn Concertos are a major part of most professional horn players' repertoire. They were written for Mozart's lifelong friend Joseph Leutgeb. The concertos (especially the fourth) were written as virtuoso vehicles that allow the soloist to show a variety of abilities on the valveless horns of Mozart's day.

The Horn Concertos are characterized by an elegant and humorous dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra. Many of the autographs contain jokes aimed at the dedicatee.

  • Horn Concerto No. 1 in D major, K. 412 (1791, unfinished at Mozart's death)
  • Horn Concerto No. 2 in E♭ major, K. 417 (1783)
  • Horn Concerto No. 3 in E♭ major, K. 447 (c. 1784–7)
  • Horn Concerto No. 4 in E♭ major, K. 495 (1786)

There are some other unfinished Mozart works for horn and orchestra:

  • Horn Concerto, K. 370b+371 in E♭ major (1781)
  • Horn Concerto, K. 494a in E major (c. 1785–6)

Woodwind concertos[]

  • Bassoon Concerto in B♭ major, K. 191 (1774)
  • Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra in C major, K. 299 (1778)
  • Oboe Concerto in C major, K. 314 (1777–78) (has come down to us as the second flute concerto, but was almost certainly an oboe concerto)
  • Flute Concerto No. 1 in G major, K. 313 (1778)
  • Flute Concerto No. 2 in D major, K. 314 (1778) (an arrangement of the above Oboe Concerto)
  • Andante for flute and orchestra in C major, K. 315/285e (1778)
  • Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622 (1791)

Concertante symphonies[]

  • Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E♭ major, K. 364 (1779)
  • Sinfonia Concertante for Oboe, Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon and Orchestra in E♭ major, K. 297b (Anh. 9 and later Anh. C 14.01) (probably spurious arrangement of lost Sinfonia Concertante for Flute, Oboe, Horn, Bassoon and Orchestra from 1778)

These were not Mozart's only attempts at the genre; a few other fragmentary works were also composed around the same time, though not completed.

Other concertos[]

Piano music[]

Mozart's earliest composition attempts begin with piano sonatas and other piano pieces, as this is the instrument on which his musical education took place. Almost everything that he wrote for piano was intended to be played by himself (or by his sister, also a proficient piano player). Examples of his earliest works are those found in Nannerl's Music Book. Between 1782 and 1786, Mozart wrote 20 works for piano solo (including sonatas, variations, fantasias, suites, fugues, rondo) and works for piano four hands and two pianos.

Solo piano works[]

Dual piano/performer works[]

Piano four-hands[]

  • Sonata for Keyboard Four-hands in C major, K. 19d (doubtful) (London, May 1765)
  • , K. 381/123a (1772)
  • , K. 358/186c (1774)

  • Larghetto and Allegretto for Two Pianos in E♭ major, K. deest (completed by Maximilian Stadler)

Chamber music[]

Violin music[]

Mozart also wrote sonatas for keyboard and violin. For the most part, these are keyboard-centric sonatas where the violin plays a more accompanying role. In later years, the role of the violin grew to not just a support to the other solo instrument, but to build a dialogue with it.

The 'Violin Sonatas', KV 10–15, are unique in that they include an ad lib. cello part along with the score for violin and keyboard. The Neue Mozart-Ausgabe (1966) therefore includes them along with the other keyboard trios, although the Köchel catalogue (K6, 1964) lists them as normal violin sonatas.

Mature violin sonatas (1778–88)[]

Variations for violin and piano[]

String duos[]

String trios[]

  • Trio for 2 Violins and Cello in B♭ major, K. 266/271f (1777)
  • Trio for Violin, Viola and Cello in E♭ major, K. 563 (1788)
Other
  • Preludes and Fugues for Violin, Viola and Cello, K. 404a (1782)
  • Trio for Violin, Viola and Cello in G major, K. 562e (1788, fragment)

String quartets[]

This cycle, in three movements, is interesting as far as these works can be considered precursors of the later—more complete—string quartets.
  • String Quartet No. 2 in D major, K. 155/134a (1772)
  • String Quartet No. 3 in G major, K. 156/134b (1772)
  • String Quartet No. 4 in C major, K. 157 (1772–73)
  • String Quartet No. 5 in F major, K. 158 (1772–73)
  • String Quartet No. 6 in B♭ major, K. 159 (1773)
  • String Quartet No. 7 in E♭ major, K. 160/159a (1773)
Much more stylistically developed. In Vienna Mozart is believed to have heard the op. 17 and op. 20 quartets of Joseph Haydn, and had received from them a deep impression.
  • String Quartet No. 8 in F major, K. 168 (1773)
  • String Quartet No. 9 in A major, K. 169 (1773)
  • String Quartet No. 10 in C major, K. 170 (1773)
  • String Quartet No. 11 in E♭ major, K. 171 (1773)
  • String Quartet No. 12 in B♭ major, K. 172 (1773)
  • String Quartet No. 13 in D minor, K. 173 (1773)
Mozart returned to the quartet in the early 1780s after he had moved to Vienna, met Haydn in person, and developed a friendship with the older composer. Haydn had just published his set of six quartets, Op. 33, which are thought to have been a stimulus to Mozart in returning to the genre. These quartets are often regarded as among the pinnacles of the genre.
  • String Quartet No. 14 in G major, "Spring", K. 387 (1782)
  • String Quartet No. 15 in D minor, K. 421/417b (1783)
  • String Quartet No. 16 in E♭ major, K. 428/421b (1783)
  • String Quartet No. 17 in B♭ major, "Hunt", K. 458 (1784)
  • String Quartet No. 18 in A major, K. 464 (1785)
  • String Quartet No. 19 in C major, "Dissonance", K. 465 (1785)
This work was published by (dedicated to?) Franz Anton Hoffmeister, as well as the Prussian Quartets.
Mozart's last three quartets, dedicated to the King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II, are noted for the cantabile character of the parts for cello (the instrument played by the king himself), the sweetness of sounds and the equilibrium among the different instruments.
Other
  • Fugues for 2 Violins, Viola and Cello, K. 405 (1782)
  • Adagio and Fugue in C minor for 2 Violins, Viola and Cello, K. 546 (1788) (a transcription from Fugue in C minor for Two Keyboards, K. 426)

Dances[]

Autograph manuscript of the Minuet K.164, number 5
See also: Mozart and dance

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.

Sacred music[]

Mozart's sacred music is mainly vocal, though also instrumental examples exist, like the seventeen Sonate da chiesa, composed between 1772 and 1780. His sacred music presents a rich stylistic mosaic: Gregorian choral elements meet rigorous counterpoint, and even operatic elements can sometimes emerge. Stylistic unity and consistency is present over all his sacred music work.
