Notes
- ↑ Another motto for the work Legley notes on the last page of the autograph: le bruit fait peu de bien; le bien fait peu de bruit (Francis de Sales).
- ↑ On the title page of the autograph: au vrai responsable: Jacques Leduc, recteur.
- ↑ The autograph does not mention a year, but since opus 112 was created in late 1988 and Automne in late 1989, the year 1989 seems plausible. Moreover, a photocopy of the autograph bears a stamp of SABAM: "SABAM" | 405365 30.-6-89.
