2 pages; 35 x 26 cm.
1 single folio. Written in pencil on recto, verso blank. Paper: 14 staves of which 9 are with music; the first six staves are sketches for No. 5, bb. 89-97 of the Wilhelm Hansen edition. The passage in question is missing in the original Hofmeister edition.
Score, autograph, fair copy
[Classification: Notated music, Manuscript, Autograph, Score, Fair copy, Fragment]
32 pages; 24 x 35.5 cm.
Written in brown ink. Paper: 10 staves. 3 bifolios, paginated 1-11 with three caprices, 4 bifolios and 1 folio paginated 1-18 with four caprices, Nos. 1-4. In addition to "No 2" of the second gathering: "udskrives i C Takt" (to be copied with time signatur C); in the manuscript it is notated with the time signature "2/4", and every second bar-line is cancelled in pencil (the two very first cancelled bar-lines are done in ink.).
Contents of the autograph and the order of the caprices correspond with the first edition of 1837, apart from the fact that vol. 1 No. 4 (No. 11:6 in the Wilhelm Hansen editions) is missing in the manuscript, and the manuscript does not include the print's numbering of the first caprices. The articulation in the autograph corresponds with that of the Hofmeister edition, whereas it differs in many respects from that of the two Wilhelm Hansen editions. In the latter editions, published decades later than the first edition, many details in articulation are added.
