Part of a set of six Duos for Archbishop Colloredo, of which Haydn wrote four and W. A. Mozart wrote the remaining two (K. 423 and K. 424).* In 1813, Sieber published Michael's four Duos but attributed them to his brother Joseph.

*Is this based on the claim/old story that Mozart was filling in for an ill Michael Haydn, etc., etc.? I thought this was regarded as, if not discredited then... well... (I guess not, it's still quoted as recently as 1997 prefaces. Alfred Einstein certainly did not give it much credence in his "Mozart: His Character, His Work", however.) - Schissel (Einstein notes further that the anecdote about the duos stems not from Mozart but from two pupils of Michael Haydn's. See Einstein, 1962, p.186.)
