Notes

This manuscript in the hand of Max Puttmann, the arranger, served as the printer's copy for the first edition of the orchestral version for low voice (the plate numbers 8093 [score] and 8094 [Orch-St.] have been added to fol. 1r), but the exact date at which it was prepared is uncertain. The first edition was probably published in 1919, some time after the low-voice piano and voice score (PV1t1). A pencil note at the top of p. 1 states: Autographie von Partitur und Stimmen 4° Format. The front leaf of a very lightweight paper wrapper also survives (pencil, unidentified hand):
