There was a wrong note in the 1875 Chrysander edition that I used for this video: on the picture that can be seen at 0:50, the second note of the second bar in the first staff was a D instead of an E. I have edited the score according to the 1724 edition.

Eser is a female contralto. I think the photo at the end made that clear. ;-)
