Nice to know
Spohr postpones the submittal of the voices for his "Our father" WoO 70 until after having heard the new composition at the Frankfurt Sängerfest Festival as he "might find this and that to change". He also has yet no idea with what instrumentation the composition should be published. Simrock had asked Spohr for duets with piano accompaniment. Spohr then asks the publisher for suitable texts.
