One interesting feature of the manuscript copy of the piano-vocal score of the complete cycle supplied to Kahnt by Mahler (ACV) is that that the second song is notated, as it had been in SS2, in C minor, but on the title page bears the note  'Nro. 2 / um ½ halben tiefer zu transponieren'.  This manuscript transposition (CV2) in C minor, was prepared by an unidentified Leipzig copyist (who was also responsible for some of the manuscript parts of the Sixth Symphony (ACO)) and is kept with ACV: it served as the printer's copy for the song.
