| Extra Information | This work remained unprinted in the original German until 1987. Thus the only performance (and recording) in German was with a score specially prepared by Klaus Uwe Ludwig (1943-2019, organist and musical director of the Lutherkirche Wiesbaden, 1978-2008) for the 200th anniversary of Spohr's birth (1984), in Kassel and Wiesbaden.
