We assume that it was Monday 20 May, as reviews of the concert already appeared on 22 and 24 May 1946 (see Anonymous: Koncerten te Brussel - Werken van toondichter Victor Legley in de zaal Akarova in Het Laatste Nieuws of 22 May 1946, p.4 & P.T.: Concert Victor Legley in Le Soir of 24 May 1946, p.2). In a score from the CeBeDeM-archive the date of the first performance is noted as o.l.v. B.Van Lier (Hilversum) 1946, this is probably the first performance in the Netherlands.
- ↑ Those musicians were Léonce Gras (conductor), Frieda Pey (piano), Henri Desclin, Louis Laredinois, Henri Crasborm, Raymond Ysaie (violin), Corneel Ruymen, Marcel Van Heerswyngels (viola), Hubert Bouquette, Joseph Camian (cello), Guillaume Tummers (double bass), Alfred Messin (flute), Barthelemy Piette (clarinet) en Michel Nicolay (trumpet).
- ↑ Flute, clarinet, trumpet, piano, 4 violins, 2 violas, 2 cellos and double bass.
