Use of the word "The" in names of symphonies

edit

To my ear, the lead in symphony articles should be, for example,『Symphony No. 3 in E♭ major...』and not『The Symphony No. 3 in E♭ major...』That sounds more natural. I found a mixture of styles on Wikipedia regarding the use of "The" in the lead for such names. For example,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_Rhapsody_No._19......"The" not used
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._9_(Beethoven)......"The" used
The website of Encyclopedia Britannica seems to corroborate my opinion.
