Original images: ca.200dpi, color jpg files approx. 1940 by 2530 pixels. Editing: re-sampled to 600dpi, converted to black and white tif files, de-skewed, and set uniform margins. On the title page: "Autographie Druck von Br. Ahner, Dresden, Amalienstrasse, 12." The Dresden city directories lists a Bruno Ahner (or Emil Bruno Ahner) at that address from 1894 until 1922/23. The source from which Ahner made this copy is apparently unknown.

What, if any, relation this work has to Volkmann's Overture in C major, Op.Post. is unknown. That overture was published by Breitkopf und Härtel in 1895 (Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1895), p.263). The composition date of 1842 is based solely upon the date given on Ahner's manuscript copy.
