Sieben Lieder aus letzter Zeit, PVcm1d (n.d.) [= bwr]

?1916–17

• The original (type A) design and font are used

• The original list of composers is followed (so the songs by Wilhelm Berger, H. Gottlieb-Noren and Hugo Kaun, and Reinecke's orchestration of Der Hirt auf dem Felsen are not included) and the details are unaltered

• Some additional transpositions of Mahler's songs are included

• The prices of the orchestral scores and parts of Mahler's songs have all been increased

This is the original type A design except for the revisions to the Mahler entries. The date of the introduction of this variant is unclear, not least because the revision of the Mahler entry was apparently not comprehensive: new transpositions from 1915/16 were included but only some of those that appeared in 1917: hence the conjectural dating offered here.

SL1PVt (1917) not listed

SL2PVh/t (1917) listed

Kindertotenlieder, PVm1 (UE1917)

This is a curiously anachronistic version of the advertisement. It is in all but one respect an exemplar of the original type A advert, retaining the design of the frame, the letter-press of the advertising matter (long out-of-date) and the printer's details. The exception is the name of the publisher, which from 1917 was increasingly given in its original, shorter form (excluding 'Nachfolger'): see the brief note about the changes in ownership and trading name.
