• ... that Johann Sigismund Weiss played the lute before the Empreror and the assembled German princes at the 1711 imperial election? Source: Lutz, Markus (2019). "Die Londoner Konzerte von Johann Sigismund Weiss im Jahre 1718 und ein Auftritt seines Neffen Johann Adolf Faustinus Weiss in London 55 Jahre später". Die Laute. Jahrbuch der Deutschen Lautengesellschaft (in German). 12: 87–109 On p. 96 we have "In der Tat war Johann Sigismund Weiss bei der Kaiserwahl 1711 in Frankfurt anwesend, wo er Gelegenheit hatte, vor dem Kaiser und allen dort anwesenden deutschen Prinzen zu spielen." ('Indeed, Johann Sigismund Weiss was present at the Imperial Election 1711 in Frankfurt, where he had the opportunity to play before the Emperor and all of the present German princes')
