It has come to my attention on a comprehensive study of Schubert's songs that a woefully high percentage of entries in this category are either 1) the wrong song for the entry page 2) give the wrong key for the file that is enclosed, so that a piece that the page says to be in Bb is in D or 3) are duplicated across multiple entry pages in the case of multiple of Schubert's settings of identical text, except in such a way as to assign the songs to multiple D numbers while not listing the accurate song for a D number. Please look at the 3 Harfenspieler numbers in this regard. Also Der Blumenbrief. The misleading preparation of the Harfenspieler numbers gives a wholly unexpected impression of shoddiness not found elsewhere on IMSLP.

The key listed in the General Information section should be that of the original version of the piece only, not that of any transposition or arrangement. It would be helpful if you would let us know exactly what you found that is not on the correct work-page, so it can be moved to the proper one. With almost a quarter of a million files here, there's a lot of clean-up to do, and we've not been through the Schubert songs in a very long time.
