notes
The work must be considered lost; it is is only known through a mention in Fétis’ Biographie universelle (see bibliography). At present, it has not been possible to trace the source from which Fétis drew this information.
In the 1840 edition of his Biographie, Fétis ascribes the edition to Leclerc, a name that is changed to a less credible Leclair in the 1863 edition.
