The German pages describing this library and those dedicated to the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek are more detailed than the corresponding pages in English, and they include bibliographies of German language publications related to the respective music collections.

3 Hilmar, Ernst, Verzeichnis der Schubert-Handschriften in der Musiksammlung der Wiener Stadt-und Landesbibliothek (Kassel: Barenreiter, 1978)Google Scholar. Facsimile editions include: Drei grosse Sonaten für das Pianoforte: D 958, D 959 und D 960 (frühe Fassungen): Faksimile nach den Autographen in der Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek, ed. Ernst Hilmar (Tutzing: Schneider, 1987) and Der Graf von Gleichen Oper in zwei Akten (D 918): Erstveröffentlichung der Handschrift des Komponisten aus dem Besitz der Wiener Stadt- und Landesbibliothek, ed. Ernst Hilmar (Tutzing: Schneider, 1988). Although set up as a review of these facsimile editions, Richard Kramer’s article ‘Posthumous Schubert’ offers a glimpse of the types of specific information that can be obtained from a careful study of Schubert’s manuscripts. ‘Posthumous Schubert’, 19 th -Century Music 14/2 (1990): 197–216. This article concentrates exclusively on sources at the Wienbibliothek. More typically, studies of Schubert’s creative process draw on sources from this library along with those from other institutions, see for instance Kramer’s, Distant Cycles: Schubert and the Conceiving of Song (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1994)CrossRefGoogle Scholar or Denny, Thomas A., ‘The Years of Schubert’s A-Flat-Major Mass, First Version: Chronological and Biographical Issues, 1819–1822’, Acta Musicologica 63/1 (1991): 7397 CrossRefGoogle Scholar.

This volume of Schubert lieder was reproduced in a facsimile edition in 1943 and then again in Schubert, Franz, Sechzehn Goethe-Lieder, ed. Peter Hauschild (Leipzig: Peters, 1978)Google Scholar. Walther Dürr describes this collection of songs in ‘Aus Schuberts erstem Publikationsplan: Zwei Hefte mit Liedern von Goethe’, in Schubert-Studien: Festgabe der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zum Schubert-Jahr 1978, ed. Franz Grasberger and Othmar Wessely (Vienna: Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1978): 43–56.

11 See for instance Robert Winter’s critique of Hilmar’s, Verzeichnis der Schubert-Handschriften in ‘Cataloguing Schubert’, 19 th -Century Music 3/2 (1979): 157162 Google Scholar. Points of conflict with Hilmar also recur throughout Winter’s ‘Paper Studies and the Future of Schubert Research’, in Schubert Studies: Problems of Style and Chronology, ed. Eva Badura-Skoda and Peter Branscombe (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1982), 209–75.

12 Winter discussed some of the important issues concerning the reproduction of the watermarks in ‘Cataloguing Schubert’, 158–9. He supplied his own reproductions for some of the watermarks on paper Schubert used in the last six years of his life in ‘Paper Studies’, 269–75.

13 Research for this review began using the older version of the website. In August 2015 the reviewer was given full access to test pages of the revamped site. During this process, the editors of Nineteenth-Century Music Review alerted the staff at Schubert Online to a small number of problems, all of which were addressed during the redesign.
