The original issue (parts) reviewed in AMZ, April 1817 (p.253-54) with mention of this arrangement, also listed in the 1816 Intelligenzblatt supplement. The Sibley score above appears to be a re-engraving issued in the 1850s.

Misc. Notes However, the score says "oboe or violin or flute", and the original C.F Schmidt plates are as above according to Baldwin-Wallace Library Catalog. Re Klemcke: died late 1895, Vienna, Austria according to Musicsack. This appears to be an amalgamation of two different arrangements: Köhler's for oboe and piano (Monatsbericht (1892), p.225) and Klemcke's for violin/flute and piano (Monatsbericht (1895), p.466). Plates in the 100s would date to 1892.
