Oh for heavens sake.
I bought the music for the Baermann Adagio (from his Quintet) at Ward Music (Vancouver) in 1988, it was marked as "Baermann, formerly ascribed to Wagner"... a similar note was made on my Sabine Meyer LP.
No big secret, it's been known since the 1950s that this was NOT by Wagner.
Likewise, the Kuffner piece (which I first performed in 1987, my first ever experience playing with a string quartet I recall) has LONG LONG LONG been known to be by Kuffner NOT Weber, it wasn't hard for me to work out as a 14 year old (a few years before playing the piece, I was lent a pile of ICA Clarinet mags and read an article that included this fact) so I'm sure you grown ups can accept the fact.
btw in the days before IMSLP it was quite difficult to get the parts for the Baermann, I had that piano reduction from Ward music, and wrote out string parts from that (aided by close listening to my Meyer LP). I still have the hand written parts.
