==Preface==
+
==Foreword==
In 2011 schonk Walter Legley een omvangrijk deel van zijn archief aan de bibliotheek van het Koninklijk Conservatorium van Brussel. Deze schenking bevatte een honderdtal manuscripten, talloze boeken, partituren en concertprogramma's die allemaal ooit aan zijn vader, Victor Legley (1915-1994) hadden toebehoord.
+
In 2011 Walter Legley donated an extensive part of his archive to the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel). This donation included a hundred manuscripts, numerous books, scores and concert programmes, all of which had once belonged to his father, Victor Legley (1915-1994).
  
Deze uitzonderlijke aanwinst voor de conservatoriumbibliotheek vormde de aanzet voor een nieuwe catalogus van het œuvre van Legley, waaraan Koenraad Sterckx zich in de jaren 2013-2016 wijdde.
+
This exceptional acquisition for the conservatory library was the impulse for a new catalogue of Legley's oeuvre, to which Koenraad Sterckx devoted himself in the years 2013-2021.
  
Voor de samenstelling van deze catalogus werd verdergebouwd op twee oudere belangrijke catalogi:
+
For the compilation of this catalogue, two older important catalogues were built on:
*Carine Tessely: [[Tessely|Victor Legley (°1915) Inleiding tot zijn oeuvre]], licentiaatsverhandeling uit 1977, en
+
*Carine Tessely: [[Tessely/en|Victor Legley (°1915) - Inleiding tot zijn oeuvre]] [Introduction to his oeuvre], a Master's thesis from 1977, and
*Ronald de Roeck: [[De Roeck|La producció de Victor Legley]], een doctoraatsverhandeling uit 2009.
+
*Ronald de Roeck: [[De Roeck/en|La producció de Victor Legley]] [The works of Victor Legley], a doctoral thesis from 2009.
  
Nieuw bronnenonderzoek liet toe deze catalogi aan te vullen en een (hopelijk) volledig overzicht te krijgen van het œuvre van Legley.
+
New source research allowed to complete these catalogues and to gain a (hopefully) complete overview of Legley's oeuvre.

==Opmerkingen bij de catalogus==
+
== Notes on the catalogue==
Enkele principes die gelden voor alle pagina's die Legley's composities beschrijven:
+
Some principles that apply to all pages describing Legley's compositions:
*voor feiten waarvoor niet expliciet naar een bron verwezen wordt, is die bron de autograaf (of eventueel een fotokopie ervan);
+
*when no explicit reference is made to a source, that source is the autograph (sometimes a photocopy of it);
*voor de duur van de composities werd in de eerste plaats overgenomen wat Legley zelf noteerde in zijn autografen, in de tweede plaats wat de website van [http://www.cebedem.be/nl/componisten/l/94-legley-vic CeBeDeM] vermeldt, in beide gevallen wordt de bron niet expliciet vermeld; in enkele gevallen moesten andere bronnen geraadpleegd worden, daarnaar wordt wel expliciet verwezen;
+
*when Legley didn't specify the duration of a composition in his autograph, we take over the duration given by the former [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeBeDeM CeBeDeM], without explicitly referring to it; in a few cases other sources had to be consulted, these are explicitly referred to;
*bij het verwijzen naar [[Tessely]] nemen wij de paginering over die [[De Roeck]] gebruikt wanneer hij naar [[Tessely]] verwijst;
+
*when referring to [[Tessely/en|Tessely]], we adopt the pagination used by [[De Roeck]] when referring to [[Tessely/en|Tessely]];
*tempoaanduidingen worden stilzwijgend gecorrigeerd: Legley schrijft bijvoorbeeld dikwijls ''gracioso'', dat werd overal zonder commentaar als ''grazioso'' genoteerd.
+
*tempo indications are tacitly corrected: e.g. ''grazioso'' instead of Legley's usual incorrect ''gracioso''.

to the catalogue

Foreword

In 2011 Walter Legley donated an extensive part of his archive to the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel). This donation included a hundred manuscripts, numerous books, scores and concert programmes, all of which had once belonged to his father, Victor Legley (1915-1994).

This exceptional acquisition for the conservatory library was the impulse for a new catalogue of Legley's oeuvre, to which Koenraad Sterckx devoted himself in the years 2013-2021.

For the compilation of this catalogue, two older important catalogues were built on:

New source research allowed to complete these catalogues and to gain a (hopefully) complete overview of Legley's oeuvre.

Victor Legley

For the composer's biography, we refer to the following websites:

Notes on the catalogue

Some principles that apply to all pages describing Legley's compositions:

  • when no explicit reference is made to a source, that source is the autograph (sometimes a photocopy of it);
  • when Legley didn't specify the duration of a composition in his autograph, we take over the duration given by the former CeBeDeM, without explicitly referring to it; in a few cases other sources had to be consulted, these are explicitly referred to;
  • when referring to Tessely, we adopt the pagination used by De Roeck when referring to Tessely;
  • tempo indications are tacitly corrected: e.g. grazioso instead of Legley's usual incorrect gracioso.

Thanks

I would like to thank the following persons who helped me to realize this catalogue:

  • first of all my colleagues in the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, especially Joachim, Johan, Olivia and Richard for their assistance
  • Emmanuel Sproelants and Pieterjan Hermans of the music library of the Flemish Radio Choir (Vlaams Radiokoor) and Brussels Philharmonic
  • Hugo Sledsens of the VRT archives
  • Ronald de Roeck
  • Carine Tessely
