Zusammenfassung
Spohr asks the publishing house to directly send the singing voices for his oratorio "The saviour's last hours" WoO 62 engraved by Simrock to Lucerne where the composition is to be performed at the Festival of the Swiss Music Society. He also reports the completion of his oratorio "The fall of Babylon" WoO 63. Although he had already offered the composition to the publishing house, he stresses that it cannot be published yet as he will have to wait until after the performance in presence of the customer at the Norwich Music Festival in the following year.
