This and next picture: Irmelin's "small very simple Firstborn". The four bars in 3/8, bars 13-16, have caused particular problems. They were first corrected on an extra note, with this message to the father: "Dear Father! From the 12th bar I have made a mistake. It must be as I have written it here, twice as fast, that is; otherwise you will fall asleep. By the way, these 4 bars are the ones I like best myself." As the manuscript has been handed down to us, the bars in question have been brought into line with the correction sheet for the father. (KB, HA CNA).
