I'm currently listening to a Sinfonia Concertante for Oboe, Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon and Orchestra apparently incorrectly attributed to Mozart. It is very nice. Not perhaps a great work nor particularly memorable, but quite jolly. This gives rise to two questions: Who did write it? And what else did he write?

In all probability the piece only got recorded because of the false association with Mozart, and there are other cases of works recorded as a result of mistaken attribution to Haydn or Mozart, or even Beethoven. There are probably other symphonies that don't get recorded because they have no name attached to them.
