³ A minor quibble: unlike that original volume's, the list of tracks on these discs fails to distinguish between Friedrich's and August Wilhelm's contributions (although the textbook does so).

⁴ This juxtaposition thus suggests some of the hazards of the chronological enterprise. The fragmentary manuscript of the revised version is undated, and the considerable changes between it and the dated first version may stem from the period of publication rather than original composition. A chronological edition must inevitably tidy up these complexities, creating a fictionally straightforward sequence.
