Mettmann II has a el changiu here, a most curious insertion given that the word el is absent from Mettmann I and both manuscripts, does not fit the metre, and is unnecessary (though not contrary) to the sense (outra vez a changiu = "once again he lamented her", i.e. the father lamented the daughter).

When planning a concert or recording, I would recommend that you use (and credit) my more pragmatic texts and supporting materials in the preparation of your performance, but that you request permission from the Oxford database team to reproduce (and credit) their own critically edited texts in your programme or liner notes, as these adhere to stricter criteria that keep them closer to the original sources, and undoubtedly have the greater academic authority.

Very fast2501:45

These are very approximate total times for a full sung (or spoken) performance of all stanzas with all repeats of the refrain. Note that the speed is in average syllables per minute, and no particular mensural interpretation is assumed. More ornamented music will reduce the syllabic speed considerably. Remember also to add time for instrumental preludes, interludes and postludes.
