Misc. Notes The inline HMB reference from Apr 1829 is for Act I only. Act II may have been published later, since its notice is in the following HMB issue from May 1829 (Monatsbericht (1829), p.40). The original part ordering for both acts was cello/violin1/violin2/viola, with the title page in front of the cello part. Because both sets of parts have the same plate number, and their pagination skips a page between acts, the separate-act parts have been combined into single part files, with leading Act I title page, and the Act II title page inserted in place.
