Two Books of Duets with favourite airs from Le Nozze de Figaro.
  1. The second Sonata in an English edition is in D minor. Fétis gives 3 Trios for PF. Violin, and Cello, as Op. 33, but it would appear to be a misprint for 23.
  2. The number of this Concerto is very doubtful. It Is given as No. 4 in A. M. Z. vol. ix. Intell. Blatt. x., and this number has been adopted, but Breitkopf & Härtel call it No. 1 (cp. Op. 20) In their Catalogue, and Fétis describes it as No. 6.
  3. This Duet seems to have been brought out at Salomon's Concert on May 21, 1806. It could also be played on two PF.s, and was arranged for 4 hands on one PF. by the author. The 3 Sonatas for PF. and Violin or Flute of Op. 34, were published by Clementi with Op. 37, by a misprint, on the title-page.
  4. See Non Plus Ultra, vol. ii. p. 465a.
  5. This Sonata was also published as Op. 5, unless, indeed, this is a misprint. It is possible that Op. 50 included some other Sonatas, as the publisher (Birchall) announces this as 'a 4th Grand Sonata for PF.'
  6. The publisher (Birchall) describes this Concerto as 'by the late J. Woelff, being the last composition of that celebrated author.' It is, therefore, probably the Concerto played at Salomon's Benefit Concert, May 16, 1812.
  7. This work has been variously ascribed to each of the first three named, but Woelfl's share was far the largest, amounting to nearly half the work, viz. Nos. 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 14, and 15, out of a total of 15. The date usually given is 1801. If internal evidence is to go for anything, it must have been written for Schikaneder's Theatre, and Woelfl's participation in the work makes an earlier date more probable.
  8. Of these songs, Nos. 2, 3, and 6, were afterwards (1810) printed in 'The Harmonic Budget.'
  9. This Sonata did not appear under Woelfl's name. It was published by Lodi about 1797 as op. 18, and an arrangement of it for 4 hands, in which it was attributed to Lodi, was published more than thirty years after by Crelle. The Sonata, however, was almost certainly composed by Woelfl, Lodi's share in it being confined to the insertion of a few errors, after the fashion of the ignorant schoolboy who has got a good copy of verses done for him. For the whole history of this very curious transaction see Woelfl's Letter to Lodi, which remained unanswered, in the A. M. Z. for 1800 (vol. ii. Intell. Blatt. No. 10), and Fink's article on the matter in the same journal in 1832 (vol. xxxiv. pp. 737 sq.).
  10. A good deal of the music in this publication appears to have been published separately either before or afterwards, as e.g. the songs, Fisher's Minuet, the Preludes (?).
