Moscow: Muzyka, 1970. Plate 6557. URTEXT EDITION
This "urtext" or "scholarly" (scientific) edition is in the public domain because it was published at least 25 years ago for most of the EU (20 years ago in Italy, 30 years ago in Poland) over 25 years ago for the former USSR. Such editions are also public domain in Canada because they fail to meet the minimum 'threshold of originality' to qualify for copyright as an 'adaptation'. They may not be public domain elsewhere. More information about this can be found here.

Version History
- Composed for voice and piano, 1842 (= 1st version, S.278/1)
- Published 1843 by Schlesinger (Berlin)
- Published 1844 by Schlesinger (Berlin)
- Revised for mezzo-soprano voice and piano, 1856 (= 2nd version, S.278/2)
- Published 1856 by Schlesinger (Berlin)
Published in a collection of lieder.
A major, identifying difference between versions 1 and 2: at the moment where the chalice falls into the deep, version 1 has pianistic fireworks and a simpler "ossia". Version 2 has only the ossia, apparently. (Arnold, The Liszt Companion, page 415.)
