No proofs for this edition have been located, but the (now incomplete) printer's copy prepared by Alma Mahler (ACF5h) survives. That manuscript seems never to have been used for rehearsal or performance and as a result rehearsal numbers were never inserted: this omission was not rectified during the publishing process. The high-voice score was evidently engraved before that of the medium-voice version (originally prepared by Mahler shortly before the first performance on 29 January 1905) as is reflected in the plate numbers of the two editions - so none of the refinements introduced into the latter during the rehearsals are found in the high-voice score. Moreover the two scores were apparently cast-off and engraved by different craftsmen at the firm of Oscar Brandstetter, with the result that their layouts are quite different (as comparison of their paginations and rastral dimension attest).

The surviving Kahnt documents (RKGMK, 172) indicate that this was the only printing of the sheets of the F major score in the period 1905–15.

FIRST EDITION, UE ISSUE, F major – Leipzig: C.F. Kahnt Nachfolger / Vienna: Universal-Edition, 1912

This is a copy of the first impression with a UNIVERSAL-EDITION paste-over covering the original Kahnt imprint. It may have been supplied with either Kahnt wrappers, or new UE wrappers. The UE Verlagsbuch indicates that the score of the high-voice version was assigned the UE edition number 3750a and in the Exemplare column a single copy is recorded with the date 4.x.1912. But see also PF5h1c below.

This copy of the full score and what appears to be an associated set of the first edition of the orchestral parts (PO5h1) both bear the  stamp of Noordewier-Reddingius), and are also rubber-stamped K.N.T.V. This latter addition suggests that the material was at some stage the property of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Toonkunstenaars Vereniging (1875-2015).

The prices of the scores and parts listed on the original title-page have been covered by a blank paste-over. This suggests that the music sheets are either from unused stock of the first impression or from a later impression taken from the unaltered plates; but the wrapper dates from 1915–16, and includes the then current information about the availability and cost of scores and parts for the various transpositions of the songs.

No printer's copy for the printed orchestral parts in F major has been located: either a now unlocated set ([CO5h]) was prepared from AF5h or ACF5h at an early stage in the planning of the first performance, i.e. before Mahler decided to transpose the song to E major so that it could be sung by a baritone; or the parts were prepared by the publisher directly from ACF5h. Whatever the sequence of events, the parts accurately reflect the text of AF5h and as a result do not have any rehearsal numbers (see the notes to PF5h1 for a possible explanation.)

The set once owned by Jo Vincent listed above includes vn I and vn II parts from a later impression: see below, PO5h2.

The surviving Kahnt documents (RKGMK, 172) indicate that there was only one printing of the parts for the high-voice version in the period 1905–15. The UE Verlagsbuch indicates that the orchestral parts of the high-voice version was assigned the UE edition number 3751. However, the sole dated entry (2.xii.1918) associated with this number appears to been for a low-voice set.

This impression omits Nachfolger in the imprint, and so dates from 1918/19 or later. No complete set has yet been located: the only known copies are first and second violin parts in the set from the collection of Jo Vincent listed above, so it is uncertain whether the other parts were also reprinted.

The printer's copy prepared under Mahler's supervision ([CV5h]) has not been located, and editorial annotations of the printer's copy for the medium voice version for voice and piano (ACV5m), suggest that no manuscript in F major was supplied by Mahler.

According to the data collated by Reinhold Kubik (RKGMK, 172), there were four printings of the F major piano-vocal score in the period 1905–1915, a total of 1400 copies.

Edition number: 5954  Plate numbers: 5689

This collection of songs, which was available in high- and medium-voice versions, with text in German French and English, was advertised on Kahnt adverts D and G–Gb; „Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen‟ appears as no. 14 (pp. 54–7, pl. no. 5689)  and „Liebst du um Schönheit‟ as no. 15 (pp. 58–59, pl. no. 5687) in the high-voice version collection. Clearly the new trilingual versions of the two songs were engraved at about the same time and it is notable that all of the other plate numbers in the volume are in the range 5641–5944, suggesting that the new plates needed for the collection were all prepared in the period from late 1909 to mid-1910.

With the exception of songs by Brahms and Richard Strauss, the copyrights were all owned by Kahnt. See also the working paper Mahler's Music in Supplements, Albums and Magazines.

Hofmeister: vii.1905

Edition number: none  Plate number: 4559

Print run: 150

The plate numbers (4559, 4560) of the full score and the orchestral parts for the medium-voice version strongly suggest that they may have been engraved and printed after most of the initial batch of first editions, and, despite the Hofmeister entry, may not have been on sale before early 1906.

When originally printed the title page was type A(o), but subsequently a small printed slip of paper bearing the figures: 2,40 and 3,—. (i.e. the prices of the score and parts of the medium-voice version of the song) was pasted over the word Abschrift (=Aa(o); see also PF5m1a described below).

Apparently, either by accident or design, the title page layout used for the main batch of orchestral scores of the songs issued in the summer of 1905 (A(o)) was re-used when printing the score of the E version of „Ich bin der Welt‟: rather than incurring the costs of re-originating the title page (and possibly the reprinting of the bifolio making up the outer sheet of the gathering) just in order to include the two missing prices, it was decided to adopt the solution found here.

The surviving Kahnt documents (RKGMK, 172) indicate that there was only one printing of the E major version in the period 1905–15, with a print run of 150 copies.

Except for the slightly smaller paper size, the  printed sheets correspond to those of the first impression described above, including the small paste-over on the title page. Subsequently, in 1915/16 following the first price rise, a large blank slip of paper was pasted over the prices of orchestral scores and parts of all the songs on the title page (=Ab(o)). The wrappers use the design of tp G, also introduced in 1915/16.

The Sigtunastiftelsens in Sigtuna, Sweden was founded in 1917 and includes a research library focusing on the humanties.

This copy appears to be printed on an un-watermarked paper; the gathering is enclosed within wrappers dating from 1915–16. The UE edition number '3750B' (which was actually the number assigned to the high-voice version) has been added in pencil at the top of the front wrapper but there is no other feature linking the copy to UE. The price of the score on the front wrapper has been over-stamped with 42.00, presumably in the period 1920–23.

In fact UE did assign edition numbers to both the score and parts of the medium-voice version, 3742 and 3753 respectively, but no orders are listed in the UE Verlagsbuch and although both were listed in the UE catalogues up to the late 1930s, the numbers were reassigned to the chorus score and parts of an arrangement of Schubert's Deutsche Tanze in 1931.

The surviving Kahnt documents (RKGMK, 172) indicate that there was only one printing of the parts for the medium-voice version in the period 1905–15. UE assigned edition numbers to both the score and parts of the medium-voice version, 3742 and 3753 respectively, but no order are listed in the UE Verlagsbuch and although both were listed in the UE catalogues up to the late 1930s, the numbers were reassigned to the chorus score and parts of an arrangement of Schubert's Deutsche Tanze in 1931.

It is notable that although the first UE issue of the high-voice version (PF5h1) was printed from new plates, apparently engraved c. 1905–09, that included an English translation, the first medium-voice UE issue is of the German-only first edition (PV5m1). This suggests that a bilingual edition of the E transposition had not been prepared, perhaps because by the time that new copies were needed, plans for trilingual editions of the song (in F and E major) were already afoot (see PV5m2a).

Initially the medium-voice piano and voice score was assigned a separate UE edition number, 2780, but after 1920 orders in the UE Verlagsbuch are listed under the number UE 2779b.

The copy described is kept with the incomplete sketch, S5h, and the complete autograph draft, SS5h1.

I'm most grateful to Frances Barulich, at the time Mary Flagler Cary Curator of Music Manuscripts and Printed Music at the The Morgan Library & Museum, for her help in preparing this entry.

Hofmeister: xi.1910

Edition number: none  Plate number: [5690]

This collection of songs, which was available in high- and medium-voice versions, was advertised on Kahnt adverts C–Cb, D and G–Gb; „Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen‟ appears as no. 14 (pp. 54–7) in the the collection, and „Liebst du um Schönheit‟ as no. 15 (pp. 58–59). Unfortunately no copy of the medium-voice edition has been traced thus far, but it might be conjectured on the basis of the better documented production history of the high-voice edition of the album (see PV5h3), that the trilingual plates of the medium-voice volume were engraved c. 1909–1910.

With the exception of songs by Brahms and Richard Strauss, the copyrights of all the songs in the album were owned by Kahnt. It is not known whether any further impressions of this compilation volume were printed. See also the working paper Mahler's Music in Supplements, Albums and Magazines.

It is not possible to firmly associate the copy described above with either of the last two substantial UE orders for copies of the second edition (1920, 1922). However, it is an interesting document, both because the UE edition number overprinted on the title page had not been used for earlier copies of this issue, and because the French translation is omitted, a change that also necessitated modifications to the title details at the head of p. 2 (hence the descriptor 'second state').

The copy described in the previous entry may in fact be a copy of this issue.

There is no entry in the delivery column, but other annotations suggest that 100 copies were delivered on 29.iii.1923 split 70H, 30A (the significance of the suffixes is not apparent). The Verlagsbuch records no further orders or deliveries.

PRINTED FULL SCORES – low voice

Edition number: not known  Plate number: 7458

The transposition was made by Max Puttmann and his manuscript (CF5t) served as the printer's copy; no proofs have been located. The plate number is noted on p. 1 of the manuscript and suggests that the edition dates from spring 1916: transposed scores of „Ich atmet einen Linden Duft‟ (PF4h1: 7451), Um Mitternacht (PV6t1: 7460) and „Liebst du um Schönheit‟ (PF7m1: 7471) were announced in the March and May issues of Hofmeister. The transposition necessitated revisions (mainly transpositions up an octave) in the string parts.

Universal-Edition appears not to have assigned an edition number to the full score or parts of this transposition or ordered any copies, although it continued to be listed in UE catalogues up to the end of the 1930s.

Nevertheless, the sheets described here might be from an exemplar of one of the later impressions listed below.

At some stage in their history the sheets described above were erroneously associated with a UE wrapper for the medium-voice version of the song.
