Notes

 

Apart from the first, Puttmann did not include any of the tempo instructions in his ink arrangement: those missing were added later in pencil. A pencil editorial note Platten pariser Format relates to the page format;¹ a reference number, 75152, has been added in pencil in the top r.h. corner of 1r, and the plate number (7468) has been added in ink at the foot of the page. In the top l.c. corner of fol. 1r eilt! has been written prominently in red pencil, suggesting a degree of urgency. The publication was announced in Hofmeister in March 1916, so perhaps the manuscript dates from early 1916.

The vocal line is untexted, the rehearsal numbers are omitted, and the change of key signature to G major is placed a bar later than in the original, at b. 75.
