A Singspiel, with spoken text interpolated among the numbers. However, titled "komische oper".
First published in a collection entitled Polyhymnia: Ein Taschenbuch für Privatbühnen und Freunde des Gesanges auf das Jahr 1825 (Marschner's preface is dated July 1824). Publication was noted on page 55 of Hofmeister's Handbuch for the year 1825 (which documented publications for the year 1824). The 1825 Polyhymnia was apparently reprinted (and re-dated) in 1829.
