Errata
Some newer editions may already have these corrections. If you have an older copy, please contact me for an updated score.
- 13, remove the decrescendo in the bass part.
- 15, the first chord in the bass should be written an octave lower than is printed. There should be a forte marked under that chord, and the diminuendo should be on the last three eighths.
