The other German court most closely allied with the Viennese tradition was that of Prince Karl Egon von Fürstenberg at Donaueschingen. Here lies the largest existing library outside Eastern Europe and Vienna, containing both original works and transcriptions. The prince frequently spent the season in Vienna, so there was most likely a strong connection to the Harmonie tradition there. Evidence from the library implies this was a long and healthy Harmonie, perhaps predating the octet format of the Viennese ensembles. It contains manuscripts of three octets by Myslivecek, who died in 1781, one year before the beginning of full Harmonie in Vienna. This is suggested, despite any definite records that Myslivecek was residing at Donaueschingen at the time. Also, the instrumentation was varied, sometimes substituting English horn, and even using flute on a limited basis
