Provenance |
| |
This sketch may
have been 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.² |
However, neither it nor a separate sketch leaf (SL5h)
were listed in either of the two
inventories of her collection of Mahler manuscripts prepared
after her death in 1921.³
The manuscript was purchased in c. 1947–9 from International Autographs (New
York) by Mary Flagler Cary (1901–1967) and was donated in 1968 to the
Morgan Library and Museum by the trustees of the
Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust. |

Notes |
| |
The rhythmic notation on fol. 1r is frequently in note-values double those
of the final version, but that on 2v is closer to
AV5. The
annotator erroneously believed that fol. 2v of this draft was
the continuation of
S5. Some of the autograph pencil additions refer to an orchestral
conception. The dating
offered here is framed by Mahler's arrival in Maiernigg (5
June) and the autograph date (16 August 1901) at the end of
SS2. |
