With the comprehensive New Schubert Edition, which has been compiled since 1965, and the extensive research carried out by Otto Erich Deutsch with his thematic catalog, the so-called Deutsch-Verzeichnis (DV), which was published for the first time in 1951, the first systematic complete edition of Schubert's songs, which was edited by Eusebius Mandyczewski and published by Breitkopf & Härtel between 1894 and 1897, became the OLD complete edition (AGA). Nonetheless, it contains an immeasurable treasure, and its significance should not be underestimated, because some of the songs that were first published there have sources that are no longer available or cannot be found.

Since every edition of Schubert's songs also brought with it other readings, errors in the abundance of available sources, sometimes in the texts, sometimes in the music, cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is essential to compare all available editions.
The Munich Digitization Center has digitized the complete Old Complete Edition and published it under the license Creative Commons 4.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
The songs are located in Series XX, Volumes 1-10, plus a revision report.
It is also largely available on imslp.org.
