* Georges Bizet was a close friend of Antoine de Choudens, for whom he also executed works of copy and arrangements, in particular the reduction for piano and voice of Charles Gounod's opera `The Queen of Sheba`.

** These are melodies of his own composition, published in 1867 by Choudens editions: `Après l'hiver` and `Adieux de l'hôtesse arabe`, based on poems by Victor Hugo, and `Douce mer` based on a piece of verse by Alphonse de Lamartine.
