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 XII in a minor, RV 32 

      Movement 1 - Preludio, Largo (C)     
        Violino - Took time to remove all of the print suggestions 
          for directions of slurs & trills, for some of them (i.e.  
          meas. 4) forced the slurs in the opposite direction to  
          the way the CCARH program works and to the way it was 
          represented in Roger.  They were essentially unnecessary 
          in this movement & just made the file visually confusing.  
        Meas. 1 - Violino - Scan missed trill on last note.  
        Meas. 9 - Violino - Roger had C6. Think a ledger line was 
          forgotten and it should be E6.  Note similarity to meas.1 
          (decending 6ths and a 5th above the notes in meas. 1).    
          The scan had E6.  

      Movement 2 - Cappricio, Presto (C) 
        Meas.47 - Roger's inverted fermatas were changed to upright.  

      Movement 3 - Grave (3/2)                   
        Meas. 4 - Violino - Scan missed the # on the G5. "4+" on 
          D4 in the Bc.  
        Meas.17 - Violino - No natural on the G5 at the end of the 
          measure.  Harmonic change. G# reverts to the key signature.  

      Movement 4 - Allemanda, Allegro (C) 
        Meas. 5 - Violino - The 10th note was scanned as an E4. In  
          Roger it was a G4.  
        Meas. 6 - Violino - ROGER had the trill on the 3rd beat (F5) 
          & a slur between the A5 & G5 (2nd beat). I REPEATED THE 
          PATTERN OF THE NEXT TWO MEASURES where the trill was on the 
          2nd beat (A5) & a slur between the 2nd & 3rd beat (G5 & F5). 
          Note that in meas.13-15 there is a similar repeated pattern 
          with the trill always on the 3rd beat. THE SCAN had the tr.  
          on the 2nd beat & the slur between the 2nd & 3rd beats.  
          ALTERNATIVELY we could consider changing the trills & slurs 
          in meas. 7-8 to be like meas. 6 in Roger, resulting in all  
          of the trills in this movement (except for m.1) coming on 
          the 3rd beats. 
        Meas.13 - Violino - No natural on last G5 in Roger. Understood 
          because of harmonic change.  Scanned as G5.  
        Meas.26 & 27 - Violino - Arpeggio A, C, E, A on 3rd beat of 
          m.26 and 2nd beat of m.27 in Roger and scan.  I feel that 
          the 2nd note should be C# not C.  In Bc. on the 1st note of 
          these arpeggios there is an "x" on an A and on the 3rd note, 
          the Bc. is a C#.
