Notes |
| |
Having met the director of C.F. Kahnt in Leipzig in November
1904, it was not until after he had conducted the very
successful first performances of his new Wunderhorn
and Rückert settings in Vienna in January 1905 that in late
February/early March Mahler
had copies prepared for perusal by Hoffmann (GMBsV,
161). This copyist's manuscript of the voice and piano
version was presumably part of the consignment.
The first bar (lacking in
SS3 and
AV3) is supplied in the margin,
but not in Mahler's hand, suggesting that it was a very late
addition.
On fol. 1r: an oval stamp: Musikalien-Verlag / C. F. Kahnt /
Nachfolger /
LEIPZIG; with 56870 added in blue pencil in an
unidentified hand in the top right-hand corner. This manuscript served as the
printer's copy for the first edition of the piano and voice
version (PV3m1), and the plate number –
4467 – has been added in red pencil on fol. 1v.
It is noticeable that the letterpress elements needed on the
first page of the printed score are not entered in full: in
later manuscripts of the songs prepared for the printer they are
either wholly, or partially rubber stamped at the foot of the
page. Here their presence is merely indicated by the annotations
Verlag and Cop- [i.e. Copyright]: cf.
ACV4m,
ACF4m.
At some time this manuscript was folded in half, vertically.
