"In 1949 Schoenberg decided to reduce the work, which was difficult to perform because of the quadruple woodwinds and six horns specified, for an orchestra of regular size. It is not known whether at the time, there were already negotiations with the owner of C. F. Peters Corp. in New York, Walter Hinrichsen, son of the publisher of the original version, Henri Hinrichsen, who had perished in Auschwitz. The title of the third piece was changed to Sommermorgen am See (Farben) - Summer Morning at a Lake (Colors). Richard Hoffmann, then [Schoenberg's] assistant, took the preparation of the Stichvorlage upon himself. The printed edition heavily error-strewn was issued only after Schoenberg's death, in 1953, by Verlag C.F. Peters Corp., New York." Website of the Arnold Schönberg Center, Vienna. Henri Hinrichsen (1868-1942) was the sole owner of C.F. Peters from 1900 to 1938, when his business was "Aryanized." His son Walter (1907-1969), who had survived in English exile, returned to Germany in 1945, and the company was restored to him. Seller Inventory # 33320
