Related Works Revised version of the overture to Peter Schmoll und seine Nachbarn, J.8. That's confusing. Isn't Op.8 the piano quartet? All the more reason to use Jahn numbers more consistently instead. Published at latest in 1818 or 1819 if not earlier. See AMZ, 1819 February (16 February 1819 issue) Intelligenz-blätt.
