Notes
- ↑ Tessely, p.24.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 De Roeck, p.420.
- ↑ Piccolo, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, English horn, 2 clarinets, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, double bassoon, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, percussion, harp and strings. De Roeck (p.420) forgets to mention the piccolo.
- ↑ According to De Roeck (p.420), the autograph would have been present in the archive that Legley's son kept. However, in 2011 this archive was donated to the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where this work is not present. Perhaps this manuscript has remained in the Legley family after all.
