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 XI in b minor, RV 79 Movement 1 - Preludio, Andante (C) Meas. 5 - Violino 2 - Scan missed # on A#4 and A#5. There is a # on an F# in the figured bass at that point. Meas. 9 - All parts were scanned as a mheavy2 :| 10 - " " " " " " mheavy3 |: 9 - " " - Roger has an mheavy4 :|: at measure 9. Meas. 14 - Violino 1 - Last beat scanned as a quarter note. Roger had two 8ths. Meas. 16 - Violino 1 - Last 8th has no # on the E5 in Roger Old notation. Need E5 to lead down to the D5 in measure 17. Meas. 16 - Violino 2 - First beat scanned as a quarter note. Roger had two 8ths. Meas. 18 - Bc. - "7 natural" figure in Ricordi. "7\" in Roger. Meas. 21 - Violino 1 - No # on the last G5 in Roger but added one for the harmony changes. Old notation. *Note Meas. 24 - Violino 2 - The first note was scanned as a C# but should have been a B5 tied to the last note of m.23 (a B5) so the ss2ed program bombed. The REMAINING NOTES TO THE END WERE ALL SCANNED A STEP TOO HIGH ON THE STAFF (i.e. A5s became B5s, F#5s became G5s, E5s became F#5s, and the ending D4 became E4. (It should be a b minor chord.) Meas. 25 - Violino 1 - Scan missed # on A#4. There ia a # on an F# in the figured bass. Meas. 26 - All parts - The last note was scanned as "E", an inverted fermata, in column 32. Roger had regular fermatas. Walter's "ss2ed" program uses column 32 exclusively for slurs so I entered "F" in columne 33 for these files. Movement 2 - Corrente, Allegro (3/8) There is an 8th pick-up in all parts and in Roger the first repeat is shown to be after a dotted quarter. I have shortened the measure before the repeat to a quarter and have created a second ending of a dotted quarter. Meas. 13 & 14 - Violino 1 - Scan missed the # on the A#4s. There is a "6\" on C#3 in the figured bass. Meas. 13 - Bc. - Figure "6# 5f" in Ricordi. "6\ 5n" in Roger. Meas. 20 - Vc. & Bc. - # carries over bar line. Old notation. Meas. 22 - Bc. - 1st beat scanned as a quarter. Roger has an 8th and an 8th rest. Meas. 34 - Bc. - Figure "6# 5f" in Ricordi. "6\ 5n" in Roger. Meas. 38 - Bc. - Figure "6# 5f" in Ricordi. "6\ 5n" in Roger. Meas. 39 - Violino 2 - Natural carries over bar line. Meas. 42 - Bc. - Figure "7n 5" in Ricordi. "7f 5" in Roger. Meas. 43 - Vc. & Bc. - # carries over bar line. Old notation. Meas. 56 - Violino 2 - Scan missed # on G#4. There is a # in the figured bass on a C#4 but the # on G4 in Roger seems wrong harmonically, unlike meas. 49. Changed to G natural. Movement 3 - Giga, Allegro (12/8) Meas. 5 - Violino 2 - Scanned as dotted quarter note, half note, dotted quarter note, & a dotted quarter i-rest. Roger had a dotted quarter note (tied from the previous measure), a dotted half note, & a dotted quarter note (tied to the next measure. Think that ties can confuse the scanning process.) Meas. 7 - Bc. - Figure "6 5" in Ricordi. "6" in Roger. Meas. 25 - Bc. - Figure "x" in Ricordi is left of it's position in Roger. Meas. 27 - Bc. - Figure "6 4" in Ricordi. "5 4" in Roger. Meas. 28 - Bc. - Figure "5" in Ricordi. "7 5" in Roger. Movement 4 - Gavotta, Presto (C) The Violino 2, Violoncello, & Basso continuo parts in Roger had the first 8 measures and the last 12 measures repeated. The Violino 1 part was written out. Meas. 1 - Violino 1 - The scan missed the # on A#5. There was an "x" on F# in the figured bass. Meas. 13 & 25 - Vc. & Bc. - Last half of the measure scanned as an 8th note, a quarter note, and an 8th irest. Roger had had an 8th rest, an 8th note, and a quarter note, like the. first half of the measure. Meas. 13 & 25 - Violino 1 - In Roger the first Ds did not have a "#". An oversight. The Violin 2 has a D#5 and the Bc. has an "x" on a B3. The scan had sharps on all of the D5s. Meas. 32 - Vc. & Bc. - Entered fermatas on the last note. The violins in Roger & all parts of the scanned edition had them.
