Notes
- ↑ I seek no goal but a way out.
- ↑ Tessely (p.144) and De Roeck (p.491) both give tenor, the autograph does not confirm this, however.
- ↑ Legley probably intended to make an orchestration of this work, on p.20 of the autograph he wrote down: à l'orchestre cette melodie comporte une partie de harpe introduisible au piano.
