Footnotes

1 Cf. her lesson notes for October 2, 5, and 9. The identity of the work or works is, however, uncertain: Oct 2 “Präl. von Chopin”; Oct 5 “Desdur Präl.”; Oct 7 “Hm Präl.”; Oct 9 “Dd Präl. v. Chopin.” — The last of these has been editorially corrected to Dę, on the supposition that Jeanette may not always accurately interpret her shorthand. “D major Prelude” does, however, appear once more, in her notes for October 19, where the discussion definitely relates to the D major work.
