Note 80 — Chapter XXI · 1889-1895
Reading edition
The theme is the one alluded to on p. 156 of our first volume.
N.B. On the occasion of Schumann's opera 'Genoveva' being put into rehearsal at the Hanover court theatre in 1874, Brahms, with Frau Schumann's approval, added a few bars to the close of Siegfried's song in the third act. These do not appear, however, in the pianoforte score of the work included in the complete edition.
