Work comment

A later written front end paper states "Stycke för violonceller och kontrabasar (sannolikt identiskt med det Konsertstycke för violonceller och kontrabasar som utfördes å musikkonservatoriets elevuppvisning 15/12 1910). 23 stämmor. Partitur saknas." [(approx.) Piece for violoncellos and double basses (most likely identical to the Concert piece for violoncellos and double basses performed by students of the conservatoire on 15 December, 1910). 23 parts. Score is missing.]
