CommentsMissing reproduction of the autograph score [R1] was made as the last one of known reproductions after composer’s definitive alteration of the autograph score (see his correction in the part of flutes in bars I/35–36). The reproduction [R1] did not contain any markings in Martinů’s hand. Judging by the type of markings in foreign hands, it was repeatedly used for performance purposes. Apparently, it used to be housed at the Bärenreiter-Verlag (see eg. copyright on p. 1: „© 1962 by Bärenreiter Verlag Kassel“), where probably also its reproduction R([R1]) was made.
