), 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

. 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.

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 (

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.

There are also three symphonies from this time period that are based on three of Mozart's serenades:
* Symphony in D major, K. 204 (based on the
Serenade No. 5) (1775)
* Symphony in D major, K. 250 (based on the

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.

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

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.

Horn concertos
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.

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.
