Solo concerto; Classical. Solo part. 26 pages. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 5230-03. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-5230-03).

A definitive "final version" is not extant. Instead, there are contemporary printed editions which diverge from each other in many details. The English musicologist Clive Brown thus also based part of his text-critical work on his comprehensive knowledge of the performance and notation practice of Beethovens time."Fur Orchester, die gelegentlich mit einem Chor zusammenarbeiten, auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Ein gerade in seiner Einmaligkeit interessantes Stuck - und auch nicht besonders schwer. Verwiesen sei noch auf das vorzugliche Vorwort des Herausgebers." (Plischke, Das Liebhaberorchester).
