Navigation etc.

First performed on the same night as Camoëns. Nos.4-6 not filled on the cover page of the R&M vocal score, whatever this means. Also, no chorus for a 2-act zarzuela is strange. Nos. 2, 3 and 7 are mentioned in the El Imparcial review (1879/02/25). Before the performance the author was not indicated, and he was later announced to be Eduardo Perez (see the same review). However, in the published score the name of Marcos Zapata Mañas is printed.
