Notes

  1. Opus number 80 was assigned to Esquisses as well, therefore we use the numbering proposed by De Roeck (p.458).
  2. First edition.
  3. This is evident from a note by Legley in the sonata's autograph: In werkelijkheid sinds lang begonnen, gebruikt deze sonate als trage bew. een stuk dat oorspronkelijk deel uitmaakte van "Brindilles" en dat op 5.XII.70 geschreven werd voor de te jong overleden Jan Brys. [In reality begun long ago, this sonata uses as slow movement a piece that originally was part of "Brindilles" and that was composed on 5.XII.70 for Jan Brys, who died too young.] A sketch of this slow movement bears the title N° 5, which allows us to assume that it was the fifth part of Brindilles.
