The "386 Lieder" were already there before I started uploading individual songs, so I just left this work as it was (put in "too hard" basket). It's the Edition Peters edition of Schubert songs and is used a lot here in Vienna at the music university and the conservatory. I thin...

Ironically, I believe that this volume is already on IMSLP. No, it's not - at least I didn't find it. The "386 Lieder" is the same edition, but for high voice (Edition Peters 20a). I have scanned the edition for low voice (Edition Peters 20c; transposed a third down), which is not yet on ...
