In the hand of two copyists (Joseph Linke and Karl Holz) with autograph additions and corrections in approx. 150 places consisting mostly of dynamic markings and some accidentals, titles and some notes in the hand of Marie Leins (daughter of Schlesinger), with two autograph inscriptions in the hand of nephew Karl [Vienna 1825]. Four manuscript parts (94 p.), 10 staves per page, a few pages with an eleventh stave drawn in by hand, black ink and pencil, quarto 32 x 25.5 cm., tied with modern ribbons but now all conjugate pairs of leaves disjoint (pair of stab holes through the inner blank corners, some staining and fraying to the edges), the paper apparently from a single stock, royal sheets watermarked with fleur-de-lys armorial
