Inscription in unknown hand in ink at top of manuscript: ... par Verla (crossed out in blue pencil by the engraver), Sonatine; notated on seven two-stave systems per page, with many deletions, altercations and corrections (including to the tempo marking), comprising a movement of eighty-seven bars in all, the Stichvorlage marked up by and for the engraver in blue crayon and pencil ("4 pl au format ci-joint"), with an autograph inscription of authorship ("par Verla") deleted by the editor.
For piano.
The Sonatine was originally composed in this form as a single stand-alone movement. The second and third movements were only composed two years later.
