NOTES on Vivaldi Opus 4 - Violin Concertos I - XII 
    for Violino di Concertino, Vn.1 & 2, Viola, & Basso continuo.  

  The facsimile of Vivaldi's La Stravaganza Op.4 has five part-books: 
     Violino di Concertino, Violino Prima, Violino Seconda, Alto 
     Viola, and Organo e Violoncello (with figures above the notes).  
     This facsimile is based on the copy of the publication done by 
      Chez Estienne Roger Marchand Libraire, Amsterdam, No.399, 
         which belongs to the Royal Academy of Music, London.  

                         (Sep. 14, 2010) 

      The facsimile had a light double bar between movements, There 
    were no repeat signs in Opua 4, except for the Allegro of 
    Concerto III.  After each Concerto the light double bar was 
    followed by several vertical lines of diminishing heights.   
    There were holds at the end of each movement except for 
    Concertos VIII and X, which to me are particularly interesting,        
    in the way the Adagios functioned differently than the other 
    middle movements.  Concerto VIII was particularly interesting 
    harmonically and in that the middle movement was in three parts, 
    all in common time (C) - the first a one measure Adagio which 
    provided the cadence (with fermata) for the first movement and 
    then a Presto followed by another Adagio, which resolved the 
    Presto in the first measure, ending with a fermata before the 
    final Allegro.  
      "&0" was entered in col.13-14 to indicate that there was 
    editorial material from the source on that line. "&1" = a CCARH 
    editorial where something was changed from the source.  On the 
    lines between "&0" or "&1" in the 1st column there would often be 
    a comment on the situation.  Editorial accidentals which were 
    added appeared in smaller fonts & notes were made in the files.  
    Trills in Roger were marked by a "t" above the note.  
      The old "+", "x" figured bass notations in Roger were replaced 
    by the easier to read "#" as a figure or an addition to a figure. 
    When "/" & "\" crossed through numbered figures modifying their 
    function, we modified the numbers with a "#" "b" or a natural, as 
    was appropriate - hopefully clarifying the reading of the figures.  
    (The "/" through the figure "7" actually looks like a flat and 
    acts like one.
