- Possible call no. and autograph comment: Z/Sv Peterson-Berger has written on the autograph that it originally included 14 songs [see ’14 Lieder aus Sevilla’] and that the manuscript is incomplete as the first part of the first song is missing.
This song also exists as a separate autograph (without lyrics): "'Dagen flyr', [a] song with obligato violin”.
