Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 De Roeck, p.513.
- ↑ Volharden means to persevere.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 De Roeck (p.513) erroneously writes that Volharden consists of one movement.
- ↑ This movement is, despite a difference of 104 bars, a rather faithful transcription of the finale from Legley's second symphony: here and there, a few bars are left out or added, the orchestration is evidently changed, the original flow of ideas, however, has remained.
- ↑ A copy of this edition is preserved in the Royal Conservatory Brussels (B-Bc) (no shelf number yet - Legley archives), containing the following text in Legley's handwriting: Avec toute ma | vieille amitié à | Norbert Grimberghs | 30.V.80 | Vic Legley.
