Misc. Notes 2nd Violin and Cello (ad lib.)
Consecutive plate numbers might be considered to confirm that these parts added by Schneider are intended to go with the Max Laistner arrangement for violin and piano. The Schneider arrangement seems to be fuller and more thoughtful, more suitable for a violin alone with piano.
