FOOTNOTES:

¹ This must be the "comparative material" ( Vergleichsmaterial ) offered in OC 52/9, July 23, 1903, i.e. the full score from which S made his arrangements.

² i.e. UE 936, Handel: Organ Concertos, vol.I, published March 11, 1905 (OC 52/17) in a print-run of 1,000 copies (Verlagsdruckbuch UE 936). S never produced vol. II, because of a dispute over honorarium (see, e.g., OC 52/395, July 5, 1906).
