Later edition, a Titelauflage printed from plates of the first edition; title page differs only by the added price in Marks). Not in Hofmann, McCorkle, or Hoboken.

The publisher's catalogue lists works published up to 1865 (Niels W. Gade's Seventh Symphony, op. 45, and Wilhelm Taubert's overture Der Sturm, op. 134). The prices in Reichsthaler only also point to a date before 1871. Apparently, the catalogue was added without alterations although it was no longer current. Mark currency was introduced in 1872.
