Goethe did not reply, and the book came back. It is kept today at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and this notebook reproduces it complete and in order, from Jägers Abendlied to the Erlkönig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInside the notebook\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, a short guide: the plan for eight books of songs; the sixteen songs, with their place in the manuscript; which Erlkönig this is, the only version with the piano's repeated chords in pairs rather than triplets; how to read his pages; the strip of paper pasted to page 17; and how, in 1821, the songs finally went into print, with bars Schubert added in red chalk so that the singer could catch his breath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the manuscript: thirty-one pages of music, each left-hand page facing the one that follows it, every page at the same scale, about 80% of its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen the pages are yours: 71 pages of staff paper, twelve staves to a page, ruled like Schubert's paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA4, spiral-bound, it lies flat.
