Notes

  1. ↑ Originally this work was dedicated to a cello quartet (probably to the Belgian Cello Quartet), but the name of the quartet was made illegible on the title page of the autograph.
  2. ↑ De Roeck (p.273) mistakenly gives July.
  3. ↑ Anonymous: Radio in La Libre Belgique of 14 March 1946, p.4. Only year and place can be found in CeBeDeM - lijst werken: Œuvres de Victor Legley, p.1.
