First American Edition, variant issue. Kenney: Catalogue of the Emilie and Karl Riemenschneider Memorial Bach
Library, 2009, p. 211. OCLC 1185406.
First performed in the United States on May 8, 1874, sponsored in part by the Handel and Haydn Society in Boston;
selections from the work had been performed earlier in Boston on May 13, 1871. According to John S. Dwight in the
preface, "The musical arrangement now presented follows in the main the well known Peters edition (Leipsic), edited
by Julius Stern. But in many of the Arias, with their introductory Recitative, the masterly piano-forte accompaniment
by Robert Franz has been adopted, and his name is put at the beginning of the several pieces."
John Sullivan Dwight (1813-1893) founded, edited, and was a contributor to Dwight's Journal of Music (1852-81).
"[He] was the first major American-born music critic and contributed significantly to mid-19th-century American
musical culture. His Journal is a valuable primary source for American musical developments, offering insights into
scholarship and events in the USA and abroad through original essays, translations, reprints and reports representing
diverse viewpoints about styles and composers." Grove online.
The German conductor Julius Stern (1820-1883) founded the Sternscher Gesangverein (1846), Berliner Musikschule
(1850), which, after 1857 was known as the Stern Conservatory. He was responsible for the publication of editions of
vocal pieces, arrangements, and exercises.
