1. According to Albert Carré, the music is entirely from Raoul Pugno's hand (source), according to Édouard Sitzmann, Lippacher is the composer (source). Philidor (Étienne Grosclaude) in Gil Blas writes that Victor Roger's name represents an important group of musicians, who have joined forces under this title to operate a three-act operetta. In the first line, Mr. Raoul Pugno and Mr. Lippacher are mentioned,source)
