| Misc. Notes

Manuscript Contents : first page : p.2 of movement 1; second page : openings of movements 3 & 4; third page : opening of movement 5; fourth page : p.2 of movement 5. This series shows how the work advances, beginning with a traditionally manuscripted first page, which is then deciphered, printed out and tested on a given instrument, after which the remaining blank measures of the last printed page are used to continue the work in handwriting, and so on and so forth. Several similar procedures may be used for one passage. Movement 5 for example has been given the once-over a second time as is shown here with a fresh batch of corrections on pages 5, 6 & 7. Accordingly, the preliminary print for the last movement, is, thus far, more developed.
The final proofs represent an annotated selection of the 5 assembled movements comprising a number of handwritten corrections and indications for performance. The corrections are inserted on the same page when there is enough space or repositioned on to another page (not reproduced here) using a distinctive sign such as an arrow, double arrows, asterisk, etc... to avoid confusion, and added at once to the score for the same reason.
