| Extra Information
|
KarlWeigl.org certifies that the November 1934 performance was the world premiere. Also from that site: "The work opens with the opening theme of the first of the Five Songs for soprano and string quartet, Trost, which Weigl set in 1932 for voice and piano before including it in the chamber cycle, which was not completed until December 1934 and never published by Universal Edition (U.E.)."
