Köchel's reward was a knighthood and a generous financial settlement which permitted him to spend the rest of his life as a private scholar. Scientists of his day were greatly impressed by his botanical researches in North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, Great Britain, the North Cape and Russia.
In addition to botany, he was interested in geology and mineralogy, but he also loved music, and as a member of the Salzburg Mozarteum he published in 1862 Chronologisch-thematisches Verzeichnis sämtlicher Tonwerke Wolfgang Amadé Mozarts, a chronological and thematic register of the works of Mozart. It is sometimes known today as "the Köchel catalogue".
This catalogue was the first on such a scale and with such a level of scholarship behind it. Köchel attempted to arrange the works in chronological order, but the dates of many of the pieces written prior to 1784 had to be guessed at. Subsequent editions, especially the third by Alfred EinsteinAlfred Einstein ( December 30, 1880 February 13, 1952), cousin of Albert Einstein, was a German- American musicologist and music editor. He was noted as one of the widest-ranging music historians in the first half of the 20th century. He was born in Munic (1937), and the sixth by Franz Giegling , Gerd Sievers and Alexander Weinmann (1964, the most recent), included many corrections.
Köchel's catalogue included the opening bars of each piece and gave each work a number. Mozart's works are often referred to today by these numbers, known as the K number (see opus numberOpus is a Latin word which means "work" (in the sense of "a work of art"). Some composers' musical pieces are identified by opus numbers which generally run either in order of composition or in order of publication. The usual abbreviation is "Op. WoO" sta) - for example, the Symphony No. 41Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the Symphony No. 41 in C major ( K. 551), along with the immediately preceding symphony, No. 40 in G minor (K. 550), in the space of a few weeks in 1788. It was, as far as can be determined, never performed in Mozart’s lifeti (the Jupiter symphony) is K. 551.
Köchel also arranged Mozart's works into 24 categories which were used by Breitkopf when they published the first complete edition of Mozart's works from 1877 to 1905 (a venture funded in part by Köchel himself).
