Work comment

In one of the autographs movement no. 2 is dated Skarpnäck 18 September 1865 [MDCCCLXV], followed by a number of digits, but unfortunately, the rest of the paper is missing. Thus, this movement could have been composed as early as 1865, but more likely sometime in the following few years.
