Notes

  1. The subtitle was taken from opus 8, with which opus 3 is in all likelihood identical.
  2. De Roeck/en, p.243.
  3. This note is as follows:
    1. Spleen
    2. Bagpipe
    3. Lied
    4. Burlesque
  4. This is the same piece as Spleen from Small piano music.
  5. In Small piano music, the tempo marking is: habanera-beweging[habanera movement].
  6. 6.0 6.1 6.2 Description based on the corresponding pieces in Small piano music. Possibly Legley revised his youthful works again when compiling opus 3 (1944).
  7. On the title page of Lied in the first autograph of Small piano music, one can still read voor bea [for bea] (someone hase erased it, but it remains legible). This undoubtedly refers to Beatrix Souvage, whom Legley married in 1939.
