This sparkling little work, one of Mozart's lesser-known compositions, is one of a set of nine symphonies found stitched together in a little blue-grey binding and probably all composed about 1773. Nine pages of the autograph are in a strange hand-possibly Leopold Mozart 's.
The three movements are linked by transition passages, a feature that increases the similarity to the Italian opera overture of'the day. As Abert points out, there is no theme-development ' in the German sense ' but merely transposed repetition of ideas in the old Italian style.

At the time they were composed and the first twelve of them made available through Walsh, the publisher, the organ concertos of Handel must have at once made an astonishing impression and quickly have become universally popular. And justly so for several reasons. They were, it is true, virtuoso pieces, written to exhibit technical brilliance, but were not too far beyond the powers of the average organist of that day-Walsh's sales were a guarantee of that. They were unquestionably of a secular character, which the organ works of Handel's contemporaries unquestionably were not ; and they were masterly pieces of music by the recognised master of them all.
