Work comment
Authenticated work (according to I. Bengtsson and Holm)
The autograph shows an inscription by H14 (identified as Roman's eldest son), indicating that it existed at Haraldsmåla at the time he helped this father organizing his music library, which most likely took place in the autumn of 1756.
