Misc. Notes The piece bears a wrong opus number (83) in this score. Also, it appears to be arranged from the piano trio version (Naumann's?), not directly from the original sextet version. The score lists "organ and piano" as instruments, but the organ part is clearly written for harmonium, not pipe organ.
