Work comment

After the second suite there is a footnote stating that an adaptation of this chorale is included in J. Hägg's Suite sentimentale

There is an end repeat sign at the end of the second part of the second suite. The repeat sign has probably been inserted in error as most likely, this part was intended to have the same form as the surrounding ones
