Notes by compiler | There is a version for symphony orchestra dated twelve days later, on June 19, 1931. Revueltas did a revised edition of it in 1932. Confusing this score with a reduction of the orchestral version, the composer’s sister Rosaura Revueltas wrote the note “reduction” ahead of the subtitle “For string orchestra” on the cover of the original manuscript. |
