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.

More information can be found here.

Misc. Notes This is an all B-flat part for the first movement which can be used in lieu of the published version. Layout identical to Universal edition for these pages. Since the published version switches back and forth between B-flat and A for both Clarinet 3 and Bass Clarinet, and since not all orchestras/players these days have a Bass clarinet in A, this file is provided to make life easier for players who can't deal with transposing back and forth on the fly in their heads.

Violin I soloist tunes 'scordatura' a whole tone up to AEbf in Movement II.

Was this concluded in 1900 or 1901? Wikipedia has 1899–1901 I think but I don't know what definitive sources give...- Schissel

Did the composer object to the attachment of the key G major to this symphony (as he did the attachment of any key to its successor?) - ELS.
