  • Allitt erroneously lists this piece as "Si tanto sospiri, ti lagni d'amore". Not to be confused with A 178, a duet on the same text (in Donizetti per camera, A 171-182).
  • Inzaghi messed the two "Ti sento, sospiri" pieces (A 178 and A 387). There is In.451 "Ti sento, sospiri. Duettino pubblicato a Napoli da B. Girard nella Raccolta di ariette e duettini. F-PC (ms. 4180): ms. autografo, 4 pag. musicali, in mi maggiore" and In.574 "Ti sento, sospiri. Duetto per soprano e tenore con pf. in sol minore. F-PC (ms. 4183)". The first mistake is in the F-Pc manuscripts: the published by Girard piece is MS-4183, not MS-4180. The other mistake is that both pieces are described as duets, though MS-4180 is actually a solo song. Hence the double Inzaghi number for each of the pieces.
  • "Romanza" is inscribed at the top of the manuscript, though it doesn't look like the same handwriting as the actual music.
