Extra Information
|
Also, 2 versions for soprano and string orchestra (1919, 1929). (See Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1929), p.288.). Note Hofmeister's Monatsbericht (1920), p.20 - was this a republication in 1919/1920 of the 1912 edition? (Is the 1921 publication date of the revision certain though?)
