Make up your mind, Schroeder! Haydn, Mozart, of Mozart’s father?

If Haydn was called Papa Haydn, and his father wrote a symphony, would we speak of Papa Haydn’s Papa?

The authorship of the Toy Symphony (Cassation in G major for toys, 2 oboes, 2 horns, strings and continuo) has long been disputed. It was long thought to have been written by Joseph Haydn, then later scholarship suggested Mozart (which was why it was once assigned the Köchel number 63), and then later Mozart’s father Leopold, and it’s even been attributed to an Austrian monk named Edmund Angerer. It is likely that its true author will never be known.
