Editor: Bert Schreuder (submitted 2022-06-03).   Score information: A4, 19 pages, 366 kB   Copyright: CPDL

Edition notes: Transcribed at original pitch, note values halved. This is one of the pieces on which Lowinsky based his theory about a "secret chromatic art". Though his theory was not really accepted by his collegues, I decided to include his version in this edition; it follows after the 'natural' version.

Latin text Qui consolabatur me recessit a me quaero quod volui et non invenio fundent oculi mei lacrimas quia repletus sum amaritudine.
