Remarks, other info
An earlier version numbered Op. 37 (composed 1996), published by EMB © 1998 (Z. 14129, withdrawn), included twenty-two Lichtenberg settings for soprano solo and an Appendix, which consisted of an Introduction and seven instrumental and vocal-instrumental paraphrases. The solo settings have since been reworked and compiled in Op. 37a (1999), including also parts from the the Appendix to Op. 37.
