  2. ↑ Older music literature often gives the year 1711 as the year of birth for Johann Christian Schramm. However, this year of birth cannot be correct in view of the confirmed life data of his father Tobias Schramm (year of birth 1701). That is why the more recent music literature in Johann Christian Schramm does not specify a year of birth.
