    An article from Wikipedia.

    This is what Wikipedia has to say about Breikopf und Hartel, the famous music publishing house:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breitkopf_%26_H%C3%A4rtel

    From the link:
    The company has consistently supported contemporary composers and had close editorial collaboration with Beethoven, Haydn, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Chopin, Liszt, Wagner and Brahms.
    And Mozart? Haydn is there. Why not Mozart?

      He is mentioned in the article - third paragraph:

      In the 19th century they also published the first "complete works" editions of various composers, for instance Bach (the Bach-Gesellschaft edition), Mozart (the Alte Mozart-Ausgabe),[3] and Schubert (the Franz Schubert's Werke).

      Unless you mean why did they not support Mozart in his lifetime? I don't know but the firm wasn't known as Breitkopf and Hartel until after Mozart's death, when the company was taken over by Hartel. (Again according to Wikipedia.)

        That's what I mean. Haydn and Mozart lived in a time when the publication of musical works was not as usual as in Beethoven's. I wonder how big a part of Mozart's total output was published during his lifetime. And the same goes for Haydn.

          I don't say their statement is incorrect.
