Notes

  The copy was used as the Stichvorlage for the first edition, and is notated in G major: perhaps the only one of the Weidig copies to have been transposed (the autograph in AVc is in F major), although Weidig's copy text may not have been AVc, but a second, as yet unlocated, autograph in G major (c.f. Scheiden und Meiden).
