page 22 note * The exploration of this subject, however rewarding, is considered inappropriate here.

page 29 note * This is omitted in the printed score. It should also be pointed out here that the final printed version departs from the first completed (autograph) version in a number of points. Certain corrections and modifications were entered after the first performance at Lucerne. To ascertain the exact nature of these, a comparative examination of the respective texts will have to be made. The basis of the present study is the full score published for the English premiere in December 1961.
