Misc. Notes The realisation of Sonata XI (score pp.49–57 and non-scordatura violin part pp.19–20) is largely incorrect; a corrected realisation was later issued (#885235). Biber’s original part appears on pages 139 and 140 of the PDF file (or refer to pages 47–53 of the original manuscript, above).

Misc. Notes Pages 1–9 comprise the original 1905 print without the faulty realisations of the violin part; pages 10–15 are the revised accompaniment, with a more correct realisation of the scordatura. The scordatura violin part as Biber wrote it is on pages 16 and 17.
