Notes
- ↑ Legley's autograph and the first edition do not specify the voice type. Tessely (p.141) and De Roeck (p.355) both give tenor, but presumably the cycle can be performed by other voice types as well.
- ↑ CeBeDeM gives 7', the first edition 8', This, however, is contradicted by the pencil notes in Legley's autograph. De Roeck (p.355) even gives 10'.
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 Originally, Vóór dageraad was the third song and Amalia Rodriguez the first.
