Misc. Notes:

The Unger edition is Public Domain in the USA (ineligible for NIE restoration due to PD status in its country of origin). This edition was also issued by Peters (as Ed. 509) and was reprinted by Dover in the 1980s.
Eulenburg issued a score of this work prior to the this edition which was taken over from the London publisher Donajowski in 1894. It was listed as Eulenburgs Kleine Partitur-Ausgabe; Symphonien - Nr. 11. It was 391 pages and had the plate number E. 3179 D. - left over from Donajowski. Apparently it was issued later as Ed. 411 with the plate E.E. 3611.
