11 For instance, Chapter I is listed as ‘The Minuets (for Winds, Piano, and String Quartet)’ in the Table of Contents (p. v), while in the text it appears simply as ‘The Minuets’ (p. 1); similarly, Chapter V, ‘Published Waltzes, Ländler, and German Dances II: For the Carnival Seasons of 1826 to 1828’ (p. v) becomes ‘Dances of the Waltz Family II Published for the Carnival Seasons of 1826–28’ (p. 129).

13 Chusid explains: ‘Chromatic averages range from 0 (no accidentals) to 5 (a fully chromatic dance). Schubert’s collections of eccossaises and ländler tend to have chromatic averages below 2. His Minuets, German dances, and Polonaises tend to have averages above 2’ (p. 243).
