First edition of the piano score in excellent condition, with the features of the extremely rare 2nd print of which Haberkamp (p. 258) can prove only one copy worldwide. Good copy with considered German/Italian text as well as the epilogue on the choice of the "German" translation and note by the publisher that the piano score "in the absence of a complete partition can be used for conducting and rehearsing". Attached are a list of persons and a publisher's list of Simrock. - The complete score did not appear until years later.- Slg. Hoboken 262 (nur 3. Abzug); vgl. RISM 4343.
