Kommentar. Partituret indeholdt ved fuldførelsen i 1920 en version af værket, der nøje fulgte kilde D med undtagelse af 5 udeladte takter [mellem t. 457 og t. 458]. Manuskriptet afspejler i dets nuværende fremtrædelsesform alle værkrevisioner, titelforslag mv. frem til udarbejdelsen af det nye partitur, kilde B i 1930. Omfanget af rettelser har foranlediget RL til at kalde manuskriptet for et “partiturudkast”. Manuskriptet var ved fuldførelsen på 65 partitursider, i dag omfatter det 60 sider. Ikke alle blade går tilbage til 1920. At dømme efter skrift, blæk og nodepapirtype er blad 5 [indeholdende t. 204-220] udskiftet 1922/23, blad 1-2 [med t. 1-111] ca. 1925 og blad 6 og 26 [med hhv. 221-247 og 535-541] er skiftet ud ca. 1928. Overstregede takter og 4 sider, der i dag er skjult mellem sammensyede blade, vidner om den forkortelse af værket, RL har foretaget. Mange tidligere, nu udraderede og overstregerede pagineringer antyder, at revisionen gennemløb flere faser. Bag en påklæbet mærkat er bindet mærkeligt nok forsynet med påtrykket Incension-Symfoni, hvilket er titlen på et i dag forsvundet værk for kor og orkester fra 1916-17 (BVN 117). Forklaringen må være, at partituret er indsat i et ældre bind, hvis indhold er taget ud og måske kasseret.
Commentary. At the time of completion in 1920, the score represented a version of the work which closely followed source D with the exception of 5 omitted bars [between b. 457 and b. 458]. The manuscript reflects in its current state all revisions of the work, title suggestions etc. up to the time of the making of the new score, source B in 1930. The extent of the corrections has prompted RL to call the manuscript a “score draft”. At the time of its completion, the manuscript consisted of 65 score pages, today it comprises 60 pages. Not all leaves go back to 1920. Judging from handwriting, ink and the type of music paper, leaf 5 [containing bb. 204-220] was replaced 1922/23, leaves 1-2 [with bb. 1-111] around 1925 and leaves 6 and 26 [with bb. 221-247 and 535541 respectively] was replaced around 1928. Struck out bars and 4 pages which today are hidden between leaves which are stitched together, testify to the abbreviation of the work done by RL. Many previous paginations, now erased and deleted, suggest that the revision went through several phases. Behind a glued label, the binding, oddly enough, is provided with the title Incension Symphony which is the title of a now lost work for chorus and orchestra from 1916-17 (BVN 117). The explanation must be that that the score is inserted in an older binding, the contents of which has been removed and perhaps discarded.
