Große Teile des Werkes sind als erste Niederschrift im V. Skizzenbuch [...] enthalten. Die ersten Skizzen zum Sonett, mit einer von der endgültigen Reihe noch abweichenden Fassung ( - das Sonett ist der einzige, eine zwölftönige Reihe verwendende Satz des Werkes - ) fand der Musikologe Jan Maegaard in einem kleinen Skizzenbüchlein aus dem Jahr 1922 in dem ungeordnet gebliebenen Stoß von Skizzenblättern.
