The Mass K.259, known as the Organ Solo Mass on account of an important organ passage in the Benedictus, will have been written around 1775/76. On l7th May 1778, the Prince-Archbishop Colloredo consecrated his cousin AntonTheodor Count Colloredo-Mels und Wallsee, Archbishop of Olmütz.

Leopold reported on this to his wife and son in Paris on 28th May 1778: 'l did the one of Wolfg [sic]: Mass with the organ solo: but the kyrie from the Spaur Mass; had it written and duly got the 6ducats.
