Notes |
| |
The rehearsal numbers do not correspond to those in
ACF1. The final page, [40v],
bears the autograph note: (Dauer netto 20 Minuten). This
final page is very dirty: the back wrapper (presumably the conjugate leaf
to fol. [1]) has been absent for some time.
How the Toonkunstkor in Amsterdam obtained the two Mahler
manuscripts it presented to Mengelberg in 1928 has not yet been
established. The autograph of the songs had belonged to Hermann
Behn, who died on 27 November 1927. |
