Authenticity: Possibly Authentic

This work survives only in one copy. Stylistically the attribution is plausible, even if there are no obvious indicators of Wanhal's authorship.

Ensemble

Whilst the title page refers to two horn parts, the manuscript itself calls for trumpets. The latter seems like the more likely option, since there is also a part for timpani.
