Der hier vorgelegten Edition liegt das Autograph Liszts zugrunde, das im Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv, Weimar unter der Signatur Ms I 44 aufbewahrt wird. Das Werk hat keine Inschrift. Unter dem letzten Takt (498) steht das autographe Datum Lisbonne / 2 Février ohne Jahreszahl. Sie soll aller Wahrscheinlichkeit nach 1845 sein, da sich Liszt nur ein einziges Mal, nämlich in diesem Jahr Portugal aufhielt.
