NOTES on Vivaldi Opus 2 - Violin Sonatas I - XII 
                for Violino e Basso per il Cembalo 
         from the copy belonging to the Library of Congress 


    Estienne Roger Marchand Libraire, Amsterdam [facsimile] from 
    scanned material done by Don Anthony in July & August 2004 
    transferred to CCARH stage2 format by Fran Bennion & into files 
            md\vivaldi\roger\viol_son\op02no01 - op02no12 

      The notes, their values, stem directions, rests, beamings, and 
    fermatas were scanned with a high degree of accuracy. Accidentals, 
    especially in ( ), were not always scanned accurately - sharps 
    often scanned as naturals, naturals as sharps, and fermatas 
    occasionally missed altogether. "&0" was entered in col.13-14 
    of note records indicating editorial material from the source, 
    in this edition often a cautionary accidental.  "&1" = a CCARH 
    editorial. On the next line "@1" + an explanation of the problem.                        .

      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".  Roger also had many fewer dynamic 
    markings and slurs than the scanned edition.  The scanner picked 
    up the Print suggestions "P C32:o" or "u" for each one. Roger had  
    more cautionary accidentals than the scan, except for the 2nd 
    note in an octave jump when Roger didn't restate the accidental.  

      The facsimile had a light double bar between movements, but in 
    movements where there are repeats (i.e. all movements of No. 1) 
    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. 1-3).  Pick up measures 
    were scanned as measure 1 so the measure numbers also had to be 
    changed for that reason.  Repeat signs at the end of a line in 
    Ricordi were scanned as "mheavy2  :|". There would then be a 
    measure of music and a "mheavy3  |:" appeared. (See No.1, Mv.4) 
    The headings (rows 4-9) were redone and notes (i.e. the fact 
    that Op.2 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 "/" through the figure "7" actually looks like a flat and 
    acts like one.  The "\" through the figure "6" is more normal 
    and acts like a +.  A "\" in conjunction with a 5 or a 9 didn't 
    didn't print so I used "5+".  

    SONATA X in f minor, RV 21 

      Movement 1 - Preludio, Largo (3/4) 

      Movement 2 - Allemanda, Allegro (C) 
        Meas.7  Roger had an extra 16th in this measure with a repeat 
          sign to the beginning (the 16th note pickup). The half note 
          just before the repeat sign was changed to a quarter tied 
          to a dotted 8th note. There was a similar problem at the end 
          of the movement where I created 1st and 2nd endings.  The 
          scan did it slightly differently with a repeat sign at the 
          end of meas.7 to the beginning of meas.1, after the pickup.  
        Meas.7 - Violino - No natural on the D4 in Roger but the D 
          natural in meas. 6 carries over the bar with the harmonic 
          change going on. 
        Meas.13 - Violino - No naturals on Es in Roger or the scan.  
          There is a natural on the C3 in the Bc. There are naturals 
          on the Es in the next meas. as well as naturals on the C3s 
          in the figured bass. The harmonic change starts in meas.13 
          and I think the lack of naturals in tr.1 was an oversight.  

      Movement 3 - Giga, Allegro (12/8) 
        Meas. 3 - Violino - Roger had naturals in front of the D5s in 
          meas. 3 & 4. The scan didn't have D5 naturals until meas. 4.  
          The harmony changes on the 2nd beat of the meas. though the 
          confirming D natural in track 1 doesn't come until the 3rd 
          beat with "natural" figure on Bf3 in the Bc.  See meas. 23.  
        Meas. 9 - Violino - A natural in front of the B4 in Roger. Bc.  
          has a natural figure on a G3, confirming B nat. Scan had Bf4.  
        Meas.15  Roger had an extra 8th in this measure with a repeat 
          sign to the beginning (the 8th note pickup). The dotted   
          half note just before the repeat sign was changed to a 
          dotted quarter tied to a quarter, eliminating a repeat sign 
          after the pickup & correcting the number of beats in the 
          measure, as in Movement 2.  
        Meas.19 - Violino - No natural on the final F5. Understood due 
          to changing harmony (Figure of 5b on B2 in Bc.). F5 in scan.  
        Meas.27 - Violino - Harmony changes back to key signature mid- 
          measure (note no D natural on the next note). Scan the same. 
        Meas.28 - Violino - No natural on D4 in Roger.  Harmonically  
          understood (scale passage like m.26).  Scan was the same.
