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.

Some blank pages throughout.
