Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...the original manuscript--for besides this he had nothing more than a few meagre sketches of the work--he asked his friend Faisst to find for him, through Zumpe, a reliable copyist in Stuttgart, who was to have a seat in Faisst's office and there copy the manuscript sheet by sheet as it was given him, but was on no account to take any of it home. He was to refrain from making any pencil marks on the manuscript, and he was to be careful not to approach it with unwashed hands--an amusing sidelight on the normal ways of the German musiccopyist.

Wolf received his manuscript back and sent it to Dr. Potpeschnigg in Graz to have arrangements made there for its completion. Potpeschnigg found a veritable jewel of a copyist; he charged so little for his work that Potpeschnigg, who insisted on relieving Wolf of this expense, voluntarily increased the amount by fifty per cent. When the Baron returned, in September, Wolf found his opportu..
