Note

The opening section and the 2nd trio of this waltz are adapted from the theme (Andantino) of: Le streghe : variations on a theme from the ballet 'Il noce di Benevento', op. 8 by Paganini; the 2nd trio presents the theme in the minor key (E-flat minor) and in augmentation. Selections open and close in E-flat major, the two trios being in C minor and E-flat minor, respectively. The music for the ballet 'Il noce di Benevento' was originally by Franz Xaver Süssmayr.

Note

At foot of page 330: arr: by Zerbini [probably Leander Zerbini]. Leander Zerbini died in 1833, aged 25; he was buried at Walcot, Bath on 10th February, 1833. He had certainly made arrangements of melodies by Paganini; see: The Age, September 25, 1831, page [1].

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 C^o., it is likely that this piece was published after Benjamin Stodart's departure from the business.
