Thus ‘Dresden 4 (Reich 1979, p. 22)’ identifies the piece in question as a member of the fourth sonata in the Dresden sequence, which is reproduced on p. 22 of Reich’s edition. |

E.g. ‘Weiss SWL 21/4’ refers to the fourth movement of sonata 21. Isolated movements not found as part of a sonata are listed separately with an asterisk following the number, thus: ‘3*’. |
