Extra Information
|
The B&H and Janet & Cotelle parts for the 2nd movement just have "Adagio". (Does a holograph or sufficiently early manuscript exist? The change to Adagio ma non troppo, though ubiquitous now, only seems to exist in posthumous editions starting with André. Was it authorized by the composer at all?)
