Remarks

  1. ↑ At that time there were very many Innsbruck Corps students in the AGV who enjoyed singing. The AGV was not a corporation, but an inconclusive, not even satisfactory choral society .  It was not until the end of the 1870s that he changed to a corporation - the university singers of the Skalden zu Innsbruck . So the Innsbruck Corps students left the AGV.
