[ Soon after Mozart's death, many songs, genuine and unauthentic, appeared singly or in collections. A professedly complete collection, entitled: "Sämmt-liche Lieder und Gesänge beim Fortepiano von Kapellm. W. A. Mozart" (Berlin: Rellstab), contains thirty-three songs, of which only five are genuine (Cf. A. M. Z., I., p. 744). The collection in the fifth volume of the "Oeuvres" (Breit-kopf and Härtel) is supported by the authority of the widow, and is thoroughly to be relied on; it contains, exclusive of compositions not strictly belonging to our category, twenty-one songs, properly so-called. Of these, the "Gesellen-reise" (468 K.) and two other Freemasons' songs (483, 484, K.) were originally written with organ accompaniments: the "Zufriedenheit" (349 K.), and an unpublished "Komm liebe Zitter" (351 K., composed "1780 fur Herr Lang") with accompaniment for the mandoline. A "Wiegenlied" with pianoforte accompaniment, "Schlafe mein Prinzchen" (350 K.), was published subsequently by Nissen (Nachtrag).]

[ Reichardt regrets that his "Lieder geselliger Freude " (1796) can include none of the compositions of "men so highly esteemed as Haydn, Mozart, and Dittersdorf," on account of the coarseness of the words (Vol. I., p. vüi.).]

[ A reviewer in the Musik Realzeitung (1790, p. 1), extolling the "Trennungslied," and the "Veilchen," remarks on the taste and delicate feeling they display, and adds: "Very striking is the treatment of the words at the close of the song, the pathetic repetition of 'Das arme Veilchen! es war ein herzigs Veilchen I Cf. Reissmann, "Das deutsche Lied," p. 146.]
