Both pieces were originally published by A. R. Friese in a supplement to the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik entitled Sammlung von Musik-Stücken alter und neuer Zeit; Das Waldschloss in Heft I, Nr. 1 in January, and Pagenlied in Heft II, Nr. 4 in May. The two songs did not appear together until the 1850s, when they are recorded twice in Hofmeisters Monatsberichten, once in January 1851 and once in February 1855.
