Manuscript

Shostakovich's sketch for "Intervision" has been preserved in good condition, with only slight darkening of its paper occurring in the intervening decades. It is notated with dark blue ink on 12-staff music paper. At the bottom of the sheet are two inscriptions by unknown hands: "Intervision fanfares" light blue ink and "rough draft" in red ink. There is no date or location of composition indicated. The sketch version, consisting of ten measures, is slightly longer than the final. In addition, the melody and rhythm of the first three measures are different in the sketch.Шаблон:Sfn

The autograph score, which contained portions of Shostakovich's transcription for voices and piano of his Symphony No. 14, was gifted by the composer to Boris Parsadanian.[2] The manuscript is currently held in the Juilliard Manuscript Collection.[5]
