Musician's or Publisher's Notes
This brief piece for piano was written in September 1909 as part of an Hommage à Joseph Haydn, commissioned by Jules Écorcheville for a magazine called the Revue musicale de la S.I.M. Other composers who participated by providing music for the publication were Debussy, Paul Dukas, Reynoldo Hahn, Vincent d'Indy, and Charles-Maria Widor. The letters of Haydn's name are converted to the theme B-A-D-D-G.      Jason Peterson
