Maybe the back of the Strauss listing in Groves?  It's not the easiest
thing to navigate, though.  I have the 1980 edition at home and can tell
you that.  Whether it's done better in the new edition I don't know.  I
won't be at work to check it out until Monday.  Maybe someone else can
tell you about that.

I've seen this from Arkivmusic
