1st. ed., with French title page.
After the title page the pagination runs regularly from 2-11 (the last page of the first movement, Les adieux), but then restarts at 2 for the beginning of L'absence and then continues from 3 to 13. The printer printed a cancel (present) to renumber page 2 as 12, and corrected pages 13 and 15-23 in manuscript; pages 14, 15 and 20 have correct lithographed pagination.
