Remarks
- ↑ Kutsch / Riemens: Großes Sängerlexikon states that the year of birth was "around 1770". In the internet presence of the Carl-Maria-von-Weber-Gesamtausgabe, “Earliest January 1, 1791” is stated, which is, however, rather unlikely, since he would have to have been a trained tenor by the time he was 12
