Date of performance1771-xx-xx Viennese Premiere
Dating of manuscript1771
NotesThe score was written by Therese Ziss and one of her collaborators. The combination of paper and copyists refers to Gluck_9948 (1770), and makes the production of the score at the time of the Viennese premiere of Piccinni’s opera plausible. Although part of the Esterházy collection, the work was not performed at Esterháza. The two volumes were bound in recent times.
