When a citation is unique to a single source, it is marked by PS (Groves
article), NR (Reich book), or DH (Draheim and Höft preface). The chronology
is based on the earliest cited date. There is no explanation
known for the absence of Op. 18 and 19. To go back
to top.
** Note the proliferation of June 8 citations for
various years; being Robert's birthday, Clara presented
many works to him on this date. Obviously, many of these were composed
prior to this date. In any case,
June tends to be a very fertile month for composing, as with 1853.
To go back to June.
