This sketch may
have been one of those mentioned by Bauer-Lechner (NBL2,
195):
|
Als Zeichen unseren besten
Übereinstimmung in dieser Ferien schenkte er mir die
Skizzen aller seiner heurigem Lieder. |
As a token of
our best rapport during this holiday he gave me the
sketches of all his recent songs.¹ |
However, it is not identified in either of the two
inventories of her collection of Mahler manuscripts prepared
after her death in 1921.² Offered for
sale at a Stargardt auction, 21/22 March 2006, lot 849. |

Notes |
| |
In the absence of a facsimile,
the catalogue description is the only source of information:
|
Auf den Rückseiten der Blätter
mehrere Skizzen in Bleistift zu Mahlers Lied „Blicke
mir nicht in die Lieder", dem ersten der sogenannten
„Rückert-Lieder" (1899–1903), später als Nr. 3 der „Sieben
Lieder aus letzter Zeit" publiziert. Meist auf zwei
Systemen, z. T. mit Eintragung des Gesangtextes,
nicht durchgehend und nicht vollständig. |
On the verso further sketches,
in pencil, for Mahler's song 'Blicke mir nicht
in die Lieder', the first of the so-called Rückert-Lieder,
which was later published as No. 3 of the 'Sieben
Lieder aus letzter Zeit'. Mostly on two staves, in
part with underlaid vocal text, not continuous and
not complete. |
From the description it appears this
source is more likely to be an early sketch, rather than a
part of a continuous short-score draft.
The conjectural dating offered here is based on the date of
Mahler's arrival in Maiernigg (HLGII,
358) and the date of the fair copy of the song (AV3,
dated 14 June 1901). Whether „Blicke mir nicht in die
Lieder‟ was the first Rückert setting to be completed is not
clear: the earliest surviving dated fair copy is of „Ich
atmet' einen linden Duft‟ (AV4,
dated 9 June 1901).
