Extra Information
|
First printing of the Toccata in Paris by Bailleux (in Quatre Ouvertures ... et Deux Sonates), advertised April 1784 - an unauthorized edition, under the erroneous title Sonata. Hence the wording in the title of the first English edition (Kerpen; advertised May 1784): "famous Toccata" and "corrected by the Author".
