		Mozart's compositions, which have become well- known in manuscript, one should mainly point out the many contrapuntal and other church items; further a great number of symphonies, some only à 4 but others with all the custumary instruments; likewise more than 30 large serenades in which solos for various instruments appear.

Bach's variations W118#2, circulated in manuscript.

	The Music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
		However, Mozart’s fame is based on two different frames of reference: firstly, being the most famous child prodigy in music history (as both a performer and a composer) and secondly, his unquestioned brilliance as an adult composer of Classical symphonies, operas, chamber music, sonatas, church music, and concerti for various instruments.

	Leopold Mozart's Missa Solemnis in C and W.A. Mozart's K115 - MozartForum
		In his Mozart biography Einstein praised the Mass, saying it "might be called a 'Motet Mass', not in the sense of the 16th Century but in that of the 18th...in this sense a masterwork by the 18 year old composer".

		As a footnote, it should be noted the text passage "Et resurrexit" of Leopold Mozart's Mass in C-major musically corresponds with the musical setting passages "Regina Virginum" and "Regina Sanctorium omnium" of a Litaniae in B of Ignaz Holzbauer, first performed in Vienna on August 16, 1765.
