NOTES on Vivaldi Opus 1 - Trio Sonatas I - XII 


    Estienne Roger Marchand Libraire No. 363, Amsterdam [facsimile] 
     from scanned material done by Don Anthony in June & July 2004 
    transferred to CCARH stage2 format by Fran Bennion & into files 
             md\vivaldi\roger\trio_son\op01no01 - op01no12  

      The notes, their values, stem directions, rests, beamings, and 
    the fermatas were scanned with a high degree of accuracy.  The 
    accidentals were not always scanned accurately, sharps often 
    being scanned as naturals (i.e. No. 1, Mvt. 2).   Fermata 
    placement often needed to be adjusted with print suggestions. 

      Dynamics were scanned as Musical Directions with "*" in col.1, 
    "G" in column 17, & the dynamic in column 25.  Vertical placement 
    was adjusted in "ss2ed". When viewed in the score, the horizontal 
    placement did not always make the best sense.  Roger also had 
    many fewer dynamic markings than the scanned edition.  

      There were many more slurs in the scanned edition than in the 
    facsimile. The scanner picked up the Print suggestions "P C32:o" 
    or "u" for each one.  Roger had more cautionary accidentals than 
    the scanned edition, except for the 2nd note in an octave jump 
    when Roger didn't restate the accidental (No.1, Mvt.4, m.17).  

      The headings (rows 4-9) were redone and notes (i.e. the fact 
    that Op.1 No.1 was in g minor but was notated in one flat) were 
    added.  Tempo markings had to be added (i.e.  D:Allegro).  An 
    "S" appeared at the beginning of line 13 just below the "$" in 
    most files and was removed.  

      The facsimile had a light double bar between movements, but in 
    movements where there are repeats (i.e. No. 1, Mvts. 2, 4, & 5) 
    their repeat signs are like our heavy double bars.  At the end 
    of movements where the second part was to be repeated there was 
    a heavy ":|:" and there was also a light double bar to end the 
    movement.  I just entered our usual light-heavy double bar to 
    end movements.  Repeat signs in the middle of movements were not 
    accurately scanned and when a ":|:" appeared near the end of a 
    measure, i.e. just before the last 8th, an extra measure of an 
    8th note was created (i.e. No. 1, Mvt. 2).  

      When there was a pick up measure it was scanned as measure 1, 
    so the measure numbers had to be changed for that movement.  

      The "/" through the figure "7" actually looks like a flat and 
    acts like one (i.e. No. 1, Mvt. 1, meas.3 & Mvt.4, meas.9). 
    The "\" through the figure "6" is more normal and acts like a + 
    (i.e. No. 1, Mvt.3, meas.2).  A "\" in conjunction with a 5 or a 
    9 didn't print so I used "5+" (No. 2, Mvt. 1, measure 5 amd             
    Mvts. 2-4) and "9+" (No. 2, Mvt. 1, measure 6).  



    SONATA IX in A Major, RV 75     

      Movement 1 - Preludio, Allegro (9/8) 
        Meas. 13 - Violino 1 - The last two notes were scanned as a 
          D6 & C#6.  Roger had C#6 & B5.  
        Meas. 21 - B.c. - First note scanned as an E4 quarter note 
         (after an 8th rest).  Roger had E4 & D4 eighth notes.  

      Movement 2 - Adagio (C)                  

      Movement 3 - Allemanda, Allegro (C) 
        Meas. 22 - Violino 1 - Scan missed the # on the B4.  
        Meas. 23 - Violino 1 - Last beat scanned as two 8ths (C#5 & 
          D5).  Roger had a dotted 8th and a 16th (C#5 & D#5).  
        Meas. 22 - Vc. & Bc. - Second and fifth 8th notes scananed 
          as A3.  Roger had A#3 for the 2nd & 5th notes and A naturals 
          for the 3rd and 4th notes.  Ricordi had an A#4 for the 2nd 
          note and the 3rd-5th notes were A naturals.  
        Meas. 24 - Violino 1 - Scan missed # on second 8th (A#4).  
        Meas. 26 - Vc. & Bc. - Scanned missed the # on the E3.         
        Meas. 28 - Violino 1 - First note scanned as F#6.  Roger 
          had F#5.  
        Meas. 29 - Violino 2 - Scan missed # on the second D5.  
        Meas. 33 - Violino 2 - Slur in Roger seemed to be over the 
          last two 8ths.  Slur in scan was from the previous quarter 
          to the first of the last two 8ths, as both the scanned 
          version and Roger have it in an almost identical passage 
          in meas. 35 & 36.  I chose to enter the scanned version.  
        Meas. 34 - Vc. & Bc. - "p" on third beat in Roger and an 8th 
          note later in the scan.  
        Meas. 36 - Violins 1 & 2 - No fermata on last note in Roger.  
          Entered fermatas like in Vc. & Bc. and in all parts of the 
          scanned version.  

      Movement 4 - Corrente, Presto (3/4) 
        Meas. 28 - All parts were scanned as a mheavy2  :| 
              29 -  "   "     "      "     " " mheavy3  |: 
              28 -  "   " - Roger has an mheavy4   :|: at meas.28.  
        Meas. 33 - Violino 1 - Scan missed # on E#5s.  
        Meas. 35 - Violino 2 - 1st note scanned as E5. Roger had B4.  
        Meas. 37 - Vc. & Bc. - Natural scanned as # on G3.
