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. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

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). 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.

The work was first published by the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe in 1974 as D.425. With the 1978 revision of the Deutsch Catalogue, the composition titled "Lebenslied" that had been originally assigned to D.425, was in fact determined to be lost. Consequently, the work previously identified as D.425 was then reassigned to D.Anh.I/23. Given its fragmentary state (only the Tenor II part is extant), it is uncertain whether it was conceived as a trio for male voices (2 tenors, bass), or a quartet for male voices (2 tenors, 2 basses). Tagged as both for now.
