Note 65 — The Art of Violoncello Playing In the Eighteenth Century.
Isobella S. E. Stigand translation
Fétis says in his “Biographie universelle des Musiciens” (Vol. II., 365): “The first edition of Corrette’s music tutor appeared in 1761.” On the title page, however, is plainly printed MDCCXL1. Fétis has inadvertently put the number L before the X instead of after.
