b. 1
The GE1 and GE2 copies were provided with two types of covers – some gave no information that the piece was intended for piano with orchestra (the phrase "avec accompagnement d'orchestre" was removed). The title page of GE3 explicitly informs us that it is a piece for one piano ("pour le piano seul"). The titles of the remaining editions do not contain a mention of the orchestral accompaniment, although in the case of FE1 (→FE2) one can guess that it is included due to the given prices of the orchestral material (in a full version and in a version reduced to string quartet).
In our transcriptions of GE1 and GE2 we take into account the copies providing a complete description, in accordance with A. Where only the piano is mentioned, the relevant part of the title is omitted from our transcriptions – see General Editorial Principles, p. 14.
