EDITORIAL COMMENT
This is the third and last item comprising Charles Filtsch, uvres posthumes pour piano
(Vienna: C. A. Spina [plate number C.S.17927.], n.d.), brought out in all like-
lihood by Joseph Filtsch, the composer's eldest brother and traveling companion.

A presentation autograph of the composition, dated "den 11-ten September 1844" and
entitled "Das Lebewohl von Venedig," survives. Two of its pages are reproduced on page 40
of Ernst Irtel, Der junge siebenbrgische Musiker Carl Filtsch 1830-1845: ein Lebensbild
(Munich: Landsmannschaft der Siebenbrger Sachsen in Deutschland e. V., copyright 1993).

The posthumous Viennese edition of C. A. Spina bears the more refined reading and served as
the source of the text offered above. Fingering has been added by the present
editor, and sporadic minor errors of copying or engraving have been silently corrected.
