Meeresstille und glückliche Fahrt, op.27 (Calm Sea and
Prosperous Voyage) <1828; rev 1834>
Specific information available for subscribers.
Composed 1828 and revised in 1834. Bärenreiter (ed. Christopher Hogwood) includes both versions in a single volume; all other publications are the revised 1834 version only.
The composer’s indication "contrafagotto e serpente" suggests the doubling of the cbn part with a tuba. However, no separate tuba part is provided in published materials.
