URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

The partsong was believed to be a sketch when first published in 1961, in a completion by Fritz Racek (1911-1975). It was also published in a fragmentary state when it appeared in Serie III, Band 4 of the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe, in 1974. A complete version of the piece was discovered in 1977 and issued by Bärenreiter-Verlag a year later, edited by Walther Dürr in a "Preprint from: Franz Schubert, Neue Ausgabe sämtlicher Werke, published by the Internationale Schubert-Gesselschaft, Series VIII, Supplement."
