Catalogue Note
Haberkamp draws attention to another issue, with a slightly divergent subscribers' list, which she states may either be an earlier issue or a (later) issue with an amended list. Only five copies of the present first issue are recorded by Haberkamp. The 'Linz' Symphony was first published in parts by André in 1793.
