Did Mozart ever have tuba parts in his songs?

I don't know of any "songs" that have a tuba part before Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen.

The tuba had not yet been invented when Mozart was writing.

To set the record straight, the tuba was not invented until the early to mid 1800's. Patent No. 19 was granted to Wilhelm Friedrich Wieprecht and Johann Gottfried Moritz (1777–1840)[3] on September 12, 1835 for a "basstuba" in F1. The original Wieprecht and Moritz instrument used five valves of the Berlinerpumpen type that were the forerunners of the modern piston valve. Prior to the tuba's invention, orchestral ophicleide parts were written by Berlioz, Mendelsohn, Lalo (overture to "The King of Y's"), etc. Other scholars please correct me if I am wrong, but, the earliest parts for real tuba that I have encountered are in the works of Brahms. Berlioz's tuba parts are actually ophicleide parts where he changed the word ophicelde to tuba.
