Misc. Notes	Reprinted by LudwigMasters in USA, M 3873 The items was published with both a 1921 and a 1924 date. It may well be that 1921, besides being the end-date of composition, was also the date of publication before a revision was undertaken. There may be information on this in one of Robert Orledge's books on Koechlin. This file is part of the Sibley Mirroring Project.
