According to Johannes Gebauer's notes to the Camesina-Quartett's recording of the 3 String Quartets, Op.60 composed earlier the same year (1806), Dussek inscribed his Élégie Harmonique as follows -

Son Altesse Royale le Prince Louis Ferdinand de Prusse a été tué a l'affaire Saalfeld le 10 october 1806. L'auteur, qui a eu le bonheur de jouir du commerce très intime de S.A.R., ne l'a quitté qu'au moment, ou il a versé son précieux sang pour sa patrie. (Schissel)

Published by Breitkopf und Härtel ca.1806 (?) ; by Pleyel probably in 1807 (Journal typographique et bibliographique (etc.), Dixième Année, No. XXXII, 12 Octobre 1807 issue, volume 10, p.244.) Breitkopf edition mentioned and reviewed in AMZ, no.47, 19 August 1807, pages 742–747.

Sigismond Neukomm later himself in turn wrote a Elégie harmonique sur la mort de Dussek by Sigismund Neukomm (published by Breitkopf in 1813.)
