Notes

 

The song was originally drafted on the rectos of a bifolium (the versos are blank), but at some later date Mahler prepared a revision of the first page on paper of the same type, and pasted it onto fol. 2r.¹ The original draft on fol. 2r has not been transcribed or reproduced. The tonal structure adopted in this manuscript of the song is that adumbrated in the annotation on fol. 1v of the sketch (S2m).
