| Extra Information
|
A vocal score may have been published by Hansen as early as 1903 (ca.) (plate 13366, title "Saul og David : Opera i 4 Akter : (O. m. ty. T.)" in the catalog of the Danish Royal Library; a more commonly-encountered score was published in 1931 (with German translation by Ida Malling. See WorldCat. Wilhelm Hansen Edition 978.) (SBB (Mus.Nachl. F. Busoni DMS O. 1710/1) claims to have the Malling translation with "(1903)" publication date, "Mit hs. Widmung von C. Nielsen an Ferruccio Busoni, Kopenhagen, 22.9.1904 [?]", if this is possible.)
