Dussek: The Sufferings of the Queen of France

Post by sbeckmesser »

This most entertaining of Dussek's piano works -- it can be hilarious in performance -- is listed elsewhere on the net as his Op.23. But IMSLP's Op.23 is not the work in question, which depicts the end of Marie Antoinette. None of the other Dussek works at IMSLP is the piece in question either. What gives? Perhaps this was explained in the (deleted) preface to the Op.23 posted here.
