Zusammenfassung
Ries has received the adapted libretto for "The robber's bride" from Johann Joseph Reiff and has composed a few new pieces. In his opinion, the dramaturgic concept of the third act is still too complex and needs to be changed. "Überlegen Sie also genau damit unser Freund H[err]. Reiff ... nicht noch mehr doppelte Arbeit bekömt." (Think carefully, so that our friend Mr. Reiff does not have to do more duplicate work.) (FG)
