Both wrote hundreds of different works, many not published. However, Beethoven completed 9 symphonies; the numbering of Mozart's symphonies runs to 41 but there are up to 50 (some not granted numbers), so in purely numerical terms Mozart wrote more.

How many songs did Mozart write?

Mozart wrote 41 symphonies, but we don't have the manuscript for some earlier ones!Answer 1:Mozart is considered to be one of the most prolific composers, writing between 40 and 49 symphonies, 20 operas and 25 piano concertos, among other works.It is usually accepted that Mozart wrote 41 symphonies. However, there is some dispute to this. While it is uncertain just how many he did write, it would seem it was not 41.Christopher Lawrence, in his article "How many symphonies did Mozart write?" suggests that it could be as many as 71.Answer 2:There are 41 'numbered' symphonies by Mozart. But there are also quite a few 'symphonies' without numbers, and at least one of the numbered ones (no. 37) isn't by Mozart at all, but by Joseph Haydn's younger brother Michael (Mozart only wrote a slow introduction to it). The confusion arises because in Mozart's time words like symphony, overture and concerto weren't defined as strictly as they are today and the meanings often overlapped. Mozart's early 'symphonies' could equally well be called 'divertimenti' (they sometimes are!), and no. 32 is what we would now call an overture.


How did Mozart and Haydn help to enrich the music of classical period?

Haydn is famous as the Father of Symphonies with his 104 compositions in the genre. Mozart wrote 41 symphonies and more than 30 concertos (27 of them to piano and orchestra). These two composers are credited for development in the symphony and classical concerto.


How many symphonies Haydn wrote?

Joseph Haydn wrote 12 SYMPHONIES


How many notes are in Mozart's symphony no 40?

Lots of composers wrote more than 40 symphonies, although the only other well-known one was Mozart's friend Joseph Haydn (who wrote more than 100). But Mozart's is the only famous 'number 40', so that's almost certainly the one that the questioner meant.
