Date of origin, Work history

• vor dem 13. Februar 1724

• First performance on February 13, 1724; subsequent performance around 1743–1746 (autograph handwriting styles in parts for Flauto traverso and Oboe). Movement 3 is incompletely preserved (Violin I solo is missing). At least Movement 5 likely originates, according to the findings of the corrections made to the text underlay in the vocal parts, from an older (secular?) work
