Misc. Notes Breitkopf & Härtel published only a condensed score stating that the work is "Für zwei Singstimmen mit oder ohne Begleitung des Pianoforte" ("for 2 voices, with or without piano accompaniment"). This is erroneous, however. As mentioned in both the Deutsch Catalogue and the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe, the 1st version is for voice and piano, and the 2nd version is for two voices a capella (compare with the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe score).

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. This edition was published by Bärenreiter in Germany over 25 years ago and is in the public domain in its country of origin.

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). 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.

Navigation etc.

The actual scoring of the piece is confusing because the Breitkopf & Härtel edition condensed both versions into one score, and provided an incorrect description of the scoring: "Für zwei Singstimmen mit oder ohne Begleitung des Pianoforte" ("for 2 voices, with or without piano accompaniment"). To further clarify this matter, the 2nd version score from the Neue Schubert-Ausgabe has been provided. Regrettably, the 1st version score from the NSA cannot be shared in IMSLP at this time due to copyright restrictions, as the volume that contains the version for solo voice and piano was issued in 2009. For those interested, the score can be found in: Neue Schubert-Ausgabe, Serie IV, Band 8, pp.182-185 (Kassel: Bärenreiter-Verlag, 2009, Plate BA 5564), edited by Walther Dürr.
