Navigation etc.

First published and © 1910 by Ricordi and Boosey, 120 page score, Ricordi plate 112980. Catalog entry at SBB gives key E minor (which is not the key of the arrangement- which proves nothing, however. SBB could be wrong, or the arrangement might be transposed for convenience; either could be true until we've seen at least a fair number of pages of the full orchestral score...) Note: Indeed and yes. Key of the 1910 score is, beyond doubt, E minor, last pages of finale in E major.
