| Music Transcriber Notes: |
| |
| P. 261. The autograph manuscript is difficult to read but |
| appears to track the second movement of Haydn's String Quartet |
| in C Major, Op. 76, with the "Austrian Hymn" theme and first |
| variation reversed. The transcription was made from a public |
| domain score of the quartet (available at the Petrucci Music |
| Library, http://imslp.org/wiki). |
|
| P. 426. The caption on this image erroneously gives the title |
| of the piece as "Farewell to the Forest," which is a different |
| piece by Mendelssohn ("Abschied vom Walde"). The piece in the |
| image is actually "The Hunter's Farewell," as indicated by the |
| title in the manuscript ("Jägers Abschied"). |
