Notes |
|
This is a fair copy, lacking only some tempo
and expression markings to be found in later sources, but with
two interesting pitch readings: b. 61, l.h., 4th quaver has no
;
b. 62, r.h., 3rd quaver is d''.
The manuscript is written on rather thick
and acid paper that so far has not been identified in any other
Mahler score. |
