Notes
- ↑ De Roeck, p.468.
- ↑ CeBeDeM - lijst werken: LIJST VAN DE WERKEN VAN VIC LEGLEY 22.6.1976, p.9. More details are not known.
- ↑ Thus on page 2 of the autograph, on its title page erroneously Kogoi. See De Roeck (p.468) as well.
- ↑ According to De Roeck (p.467), a (different?) autograph would have been in the archive that Legley's son kept. However, that archive was donated in 2011 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.
