Comments:

3 volumes;
G 2 "Catone in Utica", a version of the complete opera (-> CW 48:1 240). A score differing in significant detail from the original version of the opera. It lacks the overture & No. 6; Nos. 9, 13, 14 are replaced and there is an additional aria before No. 19. Some of the original Nos. are given in variant versions and the recitatives correspond to no known printed libretto.
