Misc. Comments

Raff's original title was Thüringer Suite: Suite No.3. The work was published after his death as Aus Thüringen: Suite für grosses Orchester. The published version reversed the order of the third and fourth movements. Publication first announced in Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1893), p.374. ( - Cypressdome)

Essay linked to has more complete discussion re especially background and composition history, uncertainty regarding exact year of composition, and some other matters of interest. Notwithstanding the posthumous publication this was a particularly popular work, initially, which pair of facts itself leads to questions!- Schissel
