Sources

- first edition (score and violin part): CeBeDeM, Brussel, 1955[9]
Notes
- ↑ In both autographs the work is still called suite, the first edition however gives sonata.
- ↑ Tessely (p.66), De Roeck (p.263) and the first edition all give 1943 as year of composition, without giving an exact date. Both autographs however contradict this.
- ↑ CeBeDeM - lijst werken: Oeuvres de Victor Legley, p.1. More details are not known.
- ↑ The first fully documented perfomance took place in October 1956 in the house of Albert Hustin, performers were Robert Hosselet (violin) and Suzanne Hennebert (piano), see De Roeck (p.264).
- ↑ A newspaper article in Het Ypersche on 26 November 1943 (De Stad Ieper en hare Muziekakademie andermaal aan de eer) mentions a suite for viola and piano, we suspect this is a misprint.
- ↑ This is what the first edition tells, the recording by Jenny Spanoghe and Daniel Blumenthal for the label Gailly however, lasts 16'30".
- ↑ A violinist to whom Legley dedicated his serenade for 2 violins and piano.
- ↑ Title page: [signature Gaby Altmann] | suite | voor viool en piano | pour violon et piano | vic legley (op 12.)
- ↑ Tessely (p.66) mistakenly gives 1954.
