Note
This waltz begins with an adapted form of the rondo theme, 'La campanella', from the 3rd movement of the Violin concerto no. 2 by Paganini. It is also an adaptation of selections from: Walzer à la Paganini, op. 11 / Johann Strauss, the father (1804-1849); specifically the sections marked: no. 1 and no. 5, no. 5 being transposed down 1 tone. Selections published in B minor leading to D major; the trio in G major.
Note
L. probably indicates Carl Georg Lickl (1801-1877); certainly, C. G. Lickl published, as his op. 32 (1828-1829), Abschiedswalzer, based on themes from the 3 violin concertos that Paganini had composed before 1829. W. perhaps indicates Christian Rudolph Wessel.
Note
Nos. 1 to 36 in the series 'La salle d'Apollon' were available by the end of February 1828; see: John Bull, February 24, 1828, page [1].
Note
Christian Rudolph Wessel (ca. 1796-1885) was trading at 6, Frith Street by May 1822 (see, for example, The Morning Herald, May 31, 1822, page [1]). [Benjamin] Stodart had joined the business by October 1822 (see: The Morning Herald, October 23, 1822, page [1]). The partnership between Benjamin Stodart and Christian Rudolph Wessel was dissolved, by mutual consent, on 30th June, 1831; see: London Gazette, issue number 18822, July 12, 1831, page 1399. As the present number in the series 'La salle d'Apollon' was published by Wessel and Co., it is likely that this piece was published after Benjamin Stodart's departure from the business.
