FOOTNOTES:

¹ UE548 = C.P.E. Bach Keyboard Works.

³ Elisabeth Rudorff, daughter of Ernst Rudorff Ernst Rudorff. A letter from her dated January 11, 1909 (OJ 13/36, [1]) inquires about an Urtext edition of keyboard works of C. P. E. Bach, to which the present letter is undoubtedly an indirect response.
