Einzelstellenerläuterung

  • 1.
    "… Toni + Eliz :"The libretto states: “([…]Toni and Elizabeth, dressed for mountain climbing, are on the terrace about to ascend left. Hilda waves to them; they wave back and, holding hands, exeunt up the stairs singing a folk-song, Wandervogel style, which gradually fades away during the following scene)”.
  • 2.
    "… Hedwig Hilda"The name of this character changes over time in the correspondence: from January to July 1960 she is called “Hulda”. In the letter to which this document is attached she is referred to as “Hedwig”, while after that – and already here – her final name was corrected to “Hilda”. In this table all character names are written in blue pen, except for Hilda’s. This is probably because it was still not definitive.
  • 3.
    "… Farewell. It is today"In the libretto: “Hilda (after she has waved them [Toni and Elizabeth], shakes her head sadly, and turns to come further downstage)”.
  • 4.
