Provenance |
|
This sketch was
presumably one of those mentioned by Bauer-Lechner (NBL2,
195):
Als Zeichen unseren besten
Übereinstimmung in dieser Ferien schenkte er mir die
Skizzen aller seiner heurigem Lieder. |
As a token of
our best rapport during this holiday he gave me the
sketches of all his recent songs.¹ |
It was listed in both
inventories of her collection of Mahler manuscripts prepared
after her death in 1921 (Inv. I,
III/6; Inv.
II, 7); purchased
from V.A. Heck in May 1929.² |

Notes |
|
This manuscript was
described in Inv. I, item
III/6 as consisting of a single leaf (two pages): this
is uncharacteristic of the compiler's normal practice which
appears to have been to identify bifolios correctly as
Doppelblätter.
This is a typical composition draft, with numerous
indications of instrumentation in both ink and pencil,
several layers of correction. The song at this stage
lacked its first bar.
