For a an extensive, complementary commentary, see NKGII.2, 30–31, 119–20.

 

6

Possibly notes for the casting-off of Behn's two-piano arrangement (see the main description of AF2).

 

7

This relates to a passage, bb. 97ff. the text of which remains problematic: Mahler's original intention was that at the start vn II should be muted, but that when they enter at b. 109, vn I would be unmuted; Behn was probably asking whether, when they re-enter at b. 111, vn II should also be unmuted. PF1 does not require the removal of the mutes at that point, but in PS all the violins are unmuted throughout the passage. See NKGII.2, 78; 122, 178 for a discussion of this issue.

 

8

This relates to a controversial pitch in the timpani part: Mahler's F was clearly what he intended. See also PBM2 and NKGII.2, 31, 81; 120, 181.

 

9

Behn seems to have been worried about the spelling of the second pitch in the tenor part:

Colour details of Behn's annotation on fol. xxx

 

Mahler's notation was retained.

 

10

The natural in the violin part has been added to the violin part in blue crayon.
