Symphony in E-flat major, Op. 11 No. 3
Johann Stamitz
Work background
Researched classical background
This E-flat symphony by Johann Stamitz circulated in the Paris collection La Melodia Germanica. Its Op.11 designation belongs to the publisher's series rather than a consecutive opus list created by Stamitz. The collection helped disseminate music associated with the Mannheim orchestral tradition, allowing varied instrumental resources and contributing to the work's multiple descriptions in later catalogues.
