Trauer-Actus "Ach, wie nichtig, ach wie flüchtig", TVWV 1:38 (Score) AL30378 Leopold Mozart described KV 262The Trauer Actus is probably the earliest work in the Grimma collection of Telemann cantatas. Its textual and musical structur indicates that this work dates from Telemanns apprentice years at Hildesheim, between about 1696 97 and 1701. It belongs to a category of cantatas in which biblical quotations are brought together to etablish a particular theme, which can be supportet by existing hymns (se also Bachs Actus tragicus).
