Misc. Notes Includes posthumous editorial changes.
A slightly revised version by Hynais was prepared for publication by Doblinger in 1899 (First Edition). Although Hynais' work was careful, the final printed text contains many errors and changes introduced by an unknown hand. Another edition of this version, prepared by Wöss, was published in 1927. See Griegel. Movement listing differs somewhat from the consensus.

Misc. Notes Double bass may replace cello. Schmalnauer's arrangement is PD-US due to the failure to register the work with the U.S. Copyright Office and failure to file an NIE.

In the USA this work is most likely in the public domain because it was published without a compliant copyright notice, no renewal was found after a thorough search of the Catalog of Copyright Entries, or it was either ineligible for "restoration" under GATT/TRIPs and/or no record of an NIE filing was found in the online records of the US Copyright Office.
