Extra Information	Naxos vol. 15: [1]. The main tune is that of Ich hab den ganzen Vormittag by Wenzel Müller. Mein Lebenslauf ist Lieb' und Lust is a student song. Although it has a different tune in Musikalischer Hausschatz der Deutschen by Gottfried Wilhelm Fink (No. 489, p. 304), it is nearly the same in Das Deutsche Vaterland in seinen Liedern by Friedrich Riegel (No. 96, p. 66; the tune is given in No. 60, p. 42).
