Date of origin, Work history

• April/Mai 1725

• Date of composition in April/May 1725 on the occasion of the birthday of an academic teacher (Schulze BJ 2010); subsequent performance perhaps on April 9, 1731 (Catalog Poelchau 1832, page 17r, No. 41b: For the birthday celebration of Rector Geßner; this reference to the 40th birthday of the Thomasschul rector Johann Matthias Gesner presumably originates from the now lost cover of the autograph score)
