==Text==<br />
The original German words were by Friedrich Hebbel (1813–1867), from his poem ''Der Heideknabe'' (1844).

<br />
==Performances==<br />
The arrangement was performed at a special symphony concert of the Russian Musical Society in [[Moscow]] on 7/19 April 1874. The text was recited by [[Ivan Samarin]], and the orchestra was conducted by [[Nikolay Rubinstein]]. <br />
<br />
==Publication==<br />
Tchaikovsky's arrangement was published for the first time in 1970 in volume 59 of Tchaikovsky's ''[[Complete Collected Works]]'', edited by Irina Iordan.<br />
<br />
==Autographs==<br />
The autograph score of Tchaikovsky's arrangement has been lost, but a manuscript copy made by [[Karl Albrecht]] survives in the {{RUS-Mcm}} in Moscow (ф. 88, No. 162).<br />
<br />
