There is also a copyist's copy of the solo piano part made at the composer's request for the work's dedicatee Alfred Cortot and annotated by the composer.

As much needed new typeset corrected editions of each of those early published scores are completed and issued, the demand for their original publications evaporates; we have noticed this ever since the first of them was produced quite a few years ago. So far, five of these have already been issued and five more are in various stages of preparation (although one of the latter was not originally published until 1931 in any case).
