Extra Information
|
Published, without the Offertorium, by Richault (possibly first edition), according to Benedict (p.157). Originally without opus number, but Weber eventually added Op.75 (given Op.75a because the bassoon concerto also shares this number.) Op.75a not only shares material with the opera Freischütz but with 3 of the very early fugues Op.1 from Weber's youth too.
