Work comment

Authenticated work (according to Holm)

The autograph in Ro:68a/67a/71 shows some digits in the 'V' of 'Violino I:o' which could be interpreted as 'May, 1732', and at the end of the work the year '1732' (most likely in Roman's hand); on the title page of the autograph in Ro:67b there is an inscription stating 'Cantat vid Comunion' [Cantata performed at Holy Communion] and '1732' (however not in Roman's hand)
