| Comment: | First, second and fourth movements re-used in introductory sinfonia to Cantata 208 but without the violino piccolo and without the polonaise in the last movement. The third movement was re-used as the opening chorus of Cantata 207. The first movement was re-used as an introductory sinfonia to Cantata BWV 52, with similarities to the earlier version BWV 1046a. The third movement was also re-used as the opening chorus of Cantata BWV 207a. |
