Date of origin, Work history

vor dem 02. Februar 1727

First performance on February 2, 1727, version in C minor for Bass (originally intended for Alto, as indicated by the key signature and entry in the autograph score for the first movement: „NB. Die Singstimme muss in den Bass transponiert werden.“ | NB. The vocal part must be transposed to Bass). Subsequent performance around 1746–1747 (as evidenced by watermarks, scribe J. C. Altnickol, autograph handwriting styles in Bass/Oboe parts), with an independent obligato organ part and violin ripieno. Newly written parts possibly due to the loan of the original parts to the bassist J. P. Büchner (Dok. II Nr. 484 or LBB 3, commentary on Letter 61). Further performance around 1747–1748 (autograph handwriting styles in Oboe da caccia and organ parts)
