“In his letters from 1941, Lipatti mentions « six » songs. He revised their manuscript several times, which explains the two different dates written on the last page. The Romanian Composers’ and Musicologists’ Union Library holds several lieder drafts, unfinished and undated (shelf mark 3379, 3384 and 3385) (Bărgăuanu, Grigore and Tănăsescu, Dragoș. Dinu Lipatti)
