Misc. Notes The plates for this edition were likely engraved by G. Hartmann at the time of the opera's composition (ca.1887) but were not used until following the premiere of the opera in 1892, by which time the Hartmann catalog had been acquired by Heugel. The existing plates were used in the first edition printing, without being issued a new plate number by Heugel.
