"Urauff. durch d. Quartett Fitzner u. 4 Bläser d. Tonkünstler-Orchesters am 14. Februar 1914 in Wien". See title has reference to premiere.
The first and second movements end with marked pauses; it is possible though not certain that the composer meant the third and fourth movements to be linked. That the tempo indication of the finale is relative (Noch etwas ruhiger) in a way that makes more sense- one might say only makes sense - in the presence of some established basic tempo - suggests this also.
