Manuscript sources	NYPL JOB 73-101, holograph score (15 numbered and unnumbered pages, on separate folded folios), with a completion date at the end of each song—for Pfingstlied: 17./IX.1903 K.W.; for Fraue: 26./VI. 1905; for Bauer: 26./X. 1905; for Herbstgefühl: 5./XI. 1904; and for Mein Herz: 14./VII. 1905. The set numbers 1–5 were added afterwards, strengthening the supposition that the songs were not originally conceived as a set.
