The score should get cleaned to get a perfectly reprintable version, but I'm lazy. If I get asked for it from many people I may take the time.

Misc. Notes:

scan: score scanned at 600dpi
filter: score filtered with 2-point algorithm explained in High Quality Scanning
I provide the original scanned version and the filtered, because the filter does some changes (smoothening, sharpening borders) and some portions of the scan get lost sometimes (when they are too small e.g.) - so you can choose your favorite. You may ask me for a manually cleaned version.

Misc. Notes:

In this arrangement the passage work is in the right hand. Larry Sitsky (2009, p. 282) has referred to it as the "upside-down" prelude. The score was extracted from Part 5 of Busoni's Klavierübung and compressed from 2.5 pages to 2 pages with Photoshop. In this process plate numbers and page numbers were removed.
