Notes |
| |
This is the full score of the first version of the song; it was
first printed and published as
SWXIV/2,
Anhang II, 271–89 and subsequently as
NKGXIV/2, Anhang II, 311–31. Renate Stark-Voit believes this score
may have pre-dated the (currently un-located) autograph version
for voice and piano ([AV2m]).
The conjectural terminus post quem offered here is based
on the completion date of the composition draft (SSm2):
12 July 1901.
It is worth noting the survival of a
single leaf (AWr)
of type B paper that may have at some stage formed part of a
bifolio acting as a wrapper for Der Tamboursg'sell. The
fold edge of AF2m1, leaf 7 is damaged, so
provides no physical confirmation that it is the conjugate leaf
to AWr, but the fact that both leaves have exactly the same
provenance leaves open the possibility that they did indeed once
form a wrapper. The format of the paper
used is worth noting: none of the other surviving autograph
orchestral scores of the Sieben Lieder (or, for that
matter, those for Des Knaben Wunderhorn, or
Kindertotenlieder) use oblong-format paper. The explanation
may be linked with Mahler's apparently depleted stock of
manuscript paper in the summer of 1901, or the unusual orchestral conception
of the accompaniment may have encouraged Mahler to adopt the
oblong format he normally used for orchestral drafts of
symphonic works. In either case, an upright-format score was
required for practical purposes, and the second autograph score
(AF2m2),
which also embodies many revisions, adopts that paper format.
This manuscript has not been examined: the description is based
on
GMBMBS. |
