Notes
This work has been attributed to Werner since the title page of the single source contains a note “Werner”, added in pencil by later hand. However, the 1837 inventory of A­-Ed does not list Werner as author, and the style of the work also suggests a different composer. Since the source also contains a second aria (written by a different copyist), and its org part is attributed to “Auth: Sign: | Reuter”, the author of the first aria may be one of the Reutters.
