Date of origin, Work history

vor dem 24. November 1715
First performance on November 24, 1715; subsequent performance likely on October 31, 1723 (Preservation of the autograph score within the first Leipzig Cantata Cycle; for the subsequent performance on Reformation Day, see Petzoldt 1990). Incompletely preserved: from movement 6 in the autograph score, only the figured Basso continuo part is available (Choral. Simplice stylo, without text/text label), identification of the choral by text print

A further performance in Leipzig cannot be proved. Most likely it could have been on October 31, 1723.
