Counts reflect the Atlas catalogue. A link may represent a recording, a publication or an association with a local tradition.
Vienna’s river legends can also be read through theatre records. The 1798 performance in Leopoldstadt shows the Danube Maiden entering the musical stage repertoire. The Berlin record follows the work to another city.
