About this score

This is the complete piece, not an excerpt. The notes were converted from the Mutopia Project's public-domain typesetting of Song without Words, Op. 53 No. 5 (Volkslied) (piece 592, typeset from the source “Breitkopf & Hartel, Leipzig”; licence: Public Domain) and checked against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note (repeats included).
