Notes

 

When still part of a bifolio, this leaf was apparently used at different times as a wrapper for sheets relating to Der Tamboursg'sell and the Scherzo of the Fifth Symphony. The description of the Scherzo as the second movement presumably prefigures its eventual designation as the second part (Zweite Abteilung) of the Symphony.

It should be noted that the autograph full score draft of the first version of Der Tamboursg'sell (AF2m1) has at the end a blank single leaf of the same general paper type as this title page/wrapper. The fold edge of AF2m1, leaf 7 is damaged so provides no physical confirmation that it is the conjugate leaf to AWr2, but the fact that both leaves have exactly the same provenance leaves open the possibility that they did indeed once form a wrapper.
