• rev.ed., nd    Elkin [511]
• Dedicated to:  Alfred Hoehn
• LE:  nd (c??), Kalmus (CPP/Belwin) [K 09966] = 1909 version, with a few corrections
• Masters Music Publications (W7121, = 1909 version)
• Note:  A troublesome work in establishing an “authentic” version, or versions.  Elkin [511] exists in at least three distinct versions, all dated 1909.  Two are labeled “(Revised Edition)”, but are different from each other as well as from the original 1909 text.  A copy of the original edition resides with the estate, in which Scott has added many red-ink revisions, designed for an Elkin reprinting.  Its interest lies in the fact that it corresponds to neither published “revised edition”, but represents a third revision, not necessarily last in chronology. Percy Grainger’s personal copy of the original 1909 edition exists in the Grainger Museum [MG C3/SCO-196], with copious annotations to the score, including elaborate markings for all three pedals, and cuts that reduce his performance time, as he states, from 25 ½ minutes to 19 (cf. S.165 and T.55).
