1770: Mozart: Symphony No. 11 in D major, K. 84/73q, age 14

This is believed to date from 1770, and may have been written in Milan or Bologna, if it is a genuine Mozart work.

Nineteenth-century copies of the score attribute it respectively to Leopold Mozart and to Carl Dittersdorf.  But I’d wager it is Mozart’s, because it’s simply too good for other composers considered.
