Caption title: Concerti 6. fatti: in fretta à Pragae 1723. (ie. 6 concertos composed (lit. made) in haste in Prague 1723). On the penultimate page is a calculation in pencil: 12/148 = 12 [!].
Composed for the celebrations held in Prague, 1723, surrounding the coronation of Charles VI and Elisabeth Christine as King and Queen of Bohemia. It is not known who the intended performers were, but they probably came from the private Kapelle of a Dresden- or Prague-based aristocratic patron. Unlisted in the ‘Catalogo della Musica di Chiesa’ (c1784) due to relocation to Schrank II.
