page 56 note 1 see Tempo 192.

page 56 note 2 Les Offrandes oubliées was composed in 1930 and Le tombeau resplendissant followed a year later.

page 57 note 3 The unusually painful outpourings of the preface, which may be autobiographical in nature, could explain Messiaen's reluctance to have this work performed.

page 57 note 4 Assuming Mme Messiaen doesn't find any other scores lurking in cupboards!

page 57 note 5 Although this cadenza was inserted into the movement by Mme Messiaen, it apparently comes from a projected fifth movement which was to have been a ‘fugue in four parts’!

page 57 note 1 The recordings were made between 1967 and 1972 and released as a boxed set by CBS in 1978 – cat.no.79204. Now available on CD in a mid-priced, 3 disc set from Sony – SM3K 45845.

page 57 note 2 Timings are only marginally slower than on the Sony set, but in this music a few seconds can make all the difference.
