Sources
- photocopy of the autograph: Royal Conservatory Brussels (B-Bc), shelf number CBD-B665-5250. Manuscript A (see below) was probably transcribed from the autograph.
- photocopy of manuscript A: Royal Conservatory Brussels (B-Bc), no shelf number yet (Legley archives). This manuscript doesn't seem to have been written by Legly himself. It is not the definitive version of the work neither, it does, however, contain several corrections that found their way to the the first edition. Starting from bar 180, the bar numbering is wrong.
- first edition: Metropolis, Antwerp, 1971
Notes
- ↑ In the autograph and manuscript A: In heilige herinnering aan mijn Vader, in the first edition: In herinnering aan mijn Vader.
- ↑ De Roeck, p.430.
- ↑ CeBeDeM - lijst werken: LIJST VAN DE WERKEN VAN VIC LEGLEY 22.6.1976, p.1.
- ↑ Tessely (p.75) mentions a gala concert for Unicef with pianists Heidi Hendrickx and Levente Kende as the occasion of the first performance, this, however, cannot be correct. De Roeck (p.430) quotes an article on the performance on 31 January 1969 in which the author explicitly calls it the first performance.
