3rd symphony (Mozart)
The symphony in E flat major KV 18 was mistakenly included in the first edition of the Köchel Directory as a symphony by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and was given the number 3 in the Old Mozart edition. However, it is a work by Carl Friedrich Abel .
During his time in London (1764/65) Leopold Mozart had his son study symphonies by well-known contemporaries (e.g. Carl Friedrich Abel, Johann Christian Bach , Johann Gottfried Eckard , Hermann Friedrich Raupach ), probably for practice purposes . Wolfgang was particularly concerned with a symphony in E flat major, Opus 7 No. 6 by Abel, by copying it and making his own work ( KV 19 ) based on this model . More than 100 years later, the copy was mistakenly included as Mozart's work in the Old Mozart Edition and received symphony number 3.
In the third edition of the Köchel index, the work is listed in the appendix with the designation "Appendix 109 I", in the sixth edition as "Appendix A 51".
