Notes |
| |
This manuscript served as the printer's copy for the first edition
(the plate number 4468 has been added in red pencil to
fol. 2r), but the date at which it was copied is uncertain.
Since Mahler added rehearsal numbers (in blue pencil) to the copy it was probably
used by him for the first two performances on
29 January,
3
February and perhaps also on
1 June
1905.
The title on fol. 1r was modified in pencil: the first 'e' in
Lieder was struck through. This reading seems to have
carried through into the song heading supplied editorially on
2r, and had to be corrected in pencil by Mahler. The song
appears to have been numbered '8' in red pencil, but this was
subsequently overwritten with a lead pencil '13'. These changes
presumably reflect stages in the evolution of the programmes for
the
two concerts of Mahler's songs in January and February: the
song was actually the tenth in the concert on 29 January, but it
was indeed the thirteenth in the second, on 3 February. The
reference number 56871 has also been added to fol. 1r, in blue
pencil. It is
noticeable that the letterpress elements needed on the first
page of the printed score are not entered in full: in later
manuscripts of the songs prepared for the printer they are
either wholly, or partially rubber stamped at the foot of the
page. Here their presence is merely indicated by the annotations
