The author reports that, when tightening one passage in his CD review of André Messager's operetta Les p'tites Michu, he inadvertently created a misstatement. The “sly reference to the octave-leap opening of the scherzo from Beethoven's Ninth” occurs at the beginning of the Act 2 quartet for the entire Michu family, not the Act 1 Trio.

‘The beginning of the playful first trio for the sisters and Captain Gaston (in Act 1) makes what I think is a sly reference to….’

should read

‘The tension-filled Act 2 quartet between the four Michus (parents and daughters) makes what I think is a sly reference to….’

The authors apologises for this error.
