Mozarts Symphony in F KV.98/K.Anh C11.04

Post by Graham1973 »

This is the only symphony attributed to Mozart that has gone unperformed & unrecorded (to my knowledge), I'd love to see the either the parts or a complete version online as it might encourage someone to perform it and thus people can judge for themselves it quality (or lack of it).

I've seen it recorded (somewhere...I think it was in my complete works box)
However, there are probably no public domain editions available...but http://dme.mozarteum.at has everything anyways...look and you might find...

I had actually looked there earlier and this one is definitely not there.

Well, then, I don't think that there are any non-manuscript editions then.

The attribution to W.A. Mozart is apparently exceedingly weak, as the same symphony is also attributed to Joseph and/or Michael Haydn (and in the case of the Joseph Haydn attribution, listed in Hoboken's catalogue in a similar appendix of doubtful and spurious works), which is usually a sign that a dishonest 18th century publisher wanted to pass off the work of a lesser-known composer under a famous name. If there were any chance of a successful attribution it would have been printed in the "Doubtful" works section of the NMA; since it wasn't, that seems to wrap matters up. As far as I know Neal Zaslaw quotes an incipit for the symphony in his book on the symphonies, and then dismisses it. (Confusingly the NMA cites the possible attribution to Joseph Haydn, whereas Zaslaw cites Michael Haydn.)

The symphony was numbered as "48" in the Breitkopf & Härtel numbering, so there should be a B&H score of it around somewhere.

I've managed to rustle up some information in a discussion on the Mozart forum, that might be useful in tracking this one down.
The score is in Series 24 (Supplement) of the AMA issued in 1888 and the reprint is in the "997 Kalmus Study Scores, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Various Works (Supplementary Volume), Belwin Mills Publishing Corp, Melville, N. Y. 11746"
