Autograph. Written in ink on either side of a single leaf. Each comprising a single vocal line in the soprano clef. Annotations include, in the right margin of the recto, ‘Originalhandschrift von Mozart’, in an unidentified hand.
K559 is entered in Mozart’s own Verzeichnüss (Zweig MS 63) with a number of other canons, 2 Sept. 1788. John Arthur has suggested that the words ‘Originalhandschrift von Mozart’ added to the recto may be in the hand of Gottfried Weber.
