Misc. Comments

Some additional information from Luttmann, Paul Hindemith: A Research and Information Guide (which contains the confusing information that two first performance dates, 1941-11-23, and 1941-11-23, could not be decided between. One may be a typo.)

  • Incorporates the song "Das Köhlerweib ist trunken" (q.v.)
