6 It is not clear what the author means here. In the introduction he does indicate that he will not discuss (eighteenth-century) works that have been considered to be symphonies but were not so labelled by the composer. However, the book does not contain an appendix b), only an Appendix II, which is the bibliography and does not include musical sources.
