Symphony, no. 1, D major. Title inside front cover, followed by the titles of the movements, the whole of which has been crossed out, apparently by the composer, who discarded the "program" of the Symphony when it was published in 1899. Full score of the symphony, containing the "Blumine" movement, dropped after the Symphony's premiere in 1889 and not discovered again until this MS came to light. It preceeds the published version, and there are differences in orchestration between the two.

Foliation in first section almost entirely illegible, Foliation of volume is difficult due to both mutilated and missing leaves., On first flyleaf recto: an elaborate pen-drawing of a double coat of arms, probably of a husband and wife of minor German noble families, which may be seen in the photographic reproduction. Above the left coat are the letters ""I.W.G.W."" and above the right, ""I.W.D.G.,"" while the date ""1.5.6.2."" is written below and between the letters., On the first end flyleaf recto (numbered f. 155) is a table of alchemical symbols possibly by the original copyist., Paper codex., and Standing in a slight landscape with ruined buildings below and between the two coats of arms is a female figure seen in left profile wearing a long dress; in her lowered right hand she holds a banner which bears an inscription: ""Mich beisst der Floch"" [sic], apparently for ""Floh"", i.e., ""The flea bites me""; her left hand has raised the skirt of her dress and is concealed beneath it.
