The overture and the first 21 numbers are lost, but according to van Boer, one can deduce from the lyrics at the Uppsala University Library (X 270a) that this work is, in fact, a Singspiel (i.e., with spoken dialogue). Unfortunately, this part of the libretto has also been lost.

According to van Boer, Fredrik Samuel Silverstolpe bought the collection of autographs from a used bookstore in Stockholm in 1833. Apparently, they had been used for ballets and show markings by G. [Gottlieb Friedrich (Fredrik)] Ficker. On page 10, Silverstolpe writes that this is the final part of 'Azire', in Kraus's hand, and on the back cover there is an annotation dated Stockholm, 1835, stating that this fragment of 'Azire' was purchased at the Stockholms Bok-auctions Kammare [a former Stockholm auction house, specialising in books], included in a stack of old sheet music, however seemingly separated on purpose from the rest of this work, as the pages have been numbered from 1 to 10 in Mr. Haeffner's hand.

Thus, it would seem probable that the material has been used at the theatre at some point, which seems even more likely since page 6 shows an annotation in red crayon in Mr. Ficker's known hand, who, under several years, was in charge of the music copying at the Royal Opera. In 1808, while Mr. Haeffner still lived in Stockholm, I found the whole original score of 'Azire' in his home, and was allowed to borrow it for a couple of days. After his death in Uppsala, I kindly asked his heirs to be allowed to purchase what material they might have of this score, but was advised that 'Azire' could not be found among his papers. It might be possible that he had already gifted the material to someone. Or, that it is included in the opera manager's collection of sheet music.

In December, 1835 Silverstolpe wrote that while he had believed this work to have been destroyed, it was however found among Mr. Haeffner's sheet music: In the spring of 1808, I was allowed to borrow the score for a couple of days. The Overture in A major, was full of fire; in the opera itself, I found both much beaty and origiality. Mr. Frigel had stated that the subject matter was sombre, the Dramatis personae wild, and that the music was well-suited. The object of the transcription of the lyrics of this peculiar work by Mr. Stridsberg, written when studying in Göttingen, is to preserve it. As it happened, I was able to add the last nineteen pages of 'Azire' to my collection of Kraus's compositions, and asked Mr. Haeffner's heir i Uppsala to be allowed to purchase the same material, but was informed that no such material had been found. It is possible that Mr. Haeffner had given the fragment to someone.

In January, 1843, Silverstolpe made another annotation proposing that: after Kraus's death, 'Azire' was among the material fetched by the management of the Royal Opera to be kept in its music library, or that Mr. Haeffner had borrowed it from this library, and intended to return it when moving to Uppsala. Thus, if so, this work was not lost at the fire of the Dramatic Theatre in 1825. The major part of the sheet music was rescued from this fire, but all material has not yet been (re)organised.

According to van Boer, Silverstolpe also mentions in his biography of Kraus that he endeavoured to find the missing parts of this work.
