Misc. Notes The piano accompaniment is identical to the viola arrangement, of course, since they were released at exactly the same time (see HMB)! It is not actually certain whether Vieuxtemps arranged the orchestral part for piano here, especially since Schuberth's earlier cello part is compatible with the piano part here. It may be that he used an existing piano reduction of the full score and arranged the vocal part for violin (and for viola).

Misc. Notes The cello part may be from Schuberth's arrangement @ Monatsbericht (1861), p.162 (which presumably uses the same piano part as Vieuxtemps' later one, explaining why just the part could be included with the later score - perhaps similar to that originally arranged by David for his 1845 Schott publication?; the viola/piano version is, again, from 1872 as above.)
