Misc. Notes This file is part of the Merton-Ourtext Project.
The pages have been arranged 2-up in imposition (booklet) order for duplex printing on A3 paper and require an A3 printer. Alternatively, this work can be mail-ordered from Ourtext's website. Ourtext prints have undergone editing, and legibility and accuracy can be expected to be superior to Merton archive files displayed here. This could be a reprint of the 1884 first-edition(?) parts, or of the later Kammermusik-Bibliothek edition (plate K.M. 320/322) (or another) - can't tell. - ES
