Music Transcriber Notes

P. [261]. The autograph manuscript is difficult to read but appears to track the second movement of Haydn's String Quartet in C Major, Op. 76, with the "Austrian Hymn" theme and first variation reversed. The transcription was made from a public domain score of the quartet (available at the Petrucci Music Library, http://imslp.org/wiki).

P. [426]. The caption on this image erroneously gives the title of the piece as "Farewell to the Forest," which is a different piece by Mendelssohn ("Abschied vom Walde"). The piece in the image is actually "The Hunter's Farewell," as indicated by the title in the manuscript ("Jägers Abschied").
