 The following month (1 February) he proceeded to make a second complete draft.It seems that his first intention was to make a composition draft in ink, just as he had done for Lohengrin, but as such a draft of the opening Prelude – which consists of little more than an arpeggiated E major triad – would have been to all intents and purposes a full score, he decided to skip the intermediate stage and draft the full score in ink right away.This he proceeded to do with the Prelude, significantly revising some of its details in the process.
