The
Alte Mozart-Ausgabe gives the numbering sequence 1–41 for the 41 numbered symphonies. The unnumbered symphonies are sometimes given numbers in the range 42 to 56, even though they were written earlier than Mozart's Symphony No. 41. The symphony K. 111+120 is given the number 48 in this numbering scheme.
The final movement of this symphony is also employed as the final movement of the
Musik zu einer Pantomime: Pantalon und Colombine'' in D major, K. 446/416d in the completion and orchestration by Franz Beyer.
