Navigation etc.

first performed no later than 1816 November- a performance on 11/20/1816 is mentioned in volume 1 (1817) of Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung (Kanne, Friedrich August), page 28- but one expects premiere was probably (in some loose, non-mathematical sense) closer to time of composition and publication.
