Symphonies, Op. 3, Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is a set of orchestral symphonies by Johann Stamitz, composed and published in the mid-1750s. They exemplify the early Mannheim style through galant melodies, pronounced dynamic contrasts and expanded orchestral textures, and they occupy a formative position in Stamitz's output and in the evolution of the Classical symphony.
