NOTES on Vivaldi Opus 1 - Trio Sonatas I - XII 
                          (June 14, 2010) 

    Estienne Roger Marchand Libraire No. 363, Amsterdam [facsimile] 

      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.  Our usual light-heavy double bar were used to end 
    movements.  Adagio movements were treated differently depending 
    on their function in the Sonata, and the way they were notated in 
    the Roger fascimile.  The Adagios in Sonatas I & III came between 
    movements strongly in G Minor & C Major respectively and were     
    considered separate movements, even though the Adagio in III was 
    only 4 measures long.  In Sonata IV the Allegro preceeding the 
    Adagio didn't come to a cadence but morphed into the Adagio with 
    only the normal single bar and finally came to a cadance 7 meas. 
    later so was not considered a movement on its own. 

      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 VII in Eb Major, RV 65  (Roger is notated in two flats.) 
        It has been put into 3 flats (modern notation) in op1no7ef.  

      Movement 1 - Preludio, Largo  (C) 

      Movement 2 - Allemanda, Allegro  (C) 
        Meas. 29 - Violino 2 - Roger has the "p" on the 3rd beat of 
          the measure but it makes much more musical sense to have it 
          on the 1st beat of m.30. Note in file. Obvious but check w/ESF 

      Movement 3 - Sarabanda, Andante (3/4) 

      Movement 4 - Giga, Presto 
        There are two versions of this movement both in three flats.  
          The Roger facsimile is our main version of this Mvt.  
        MOVEMENT 04  is the way it was notated in Roger, namely 12/8 
           for Vn.1 and "C" (common time) for Vn.2 and the Bc.  
        MOVEMENT 05 is the alternate version with the meters 
           regularized, with all four parts in 12/8. 
        No repeat sign in m.1 in Roger, implying that from m.6 one 
           went back to the beginning.  Rhythmically inaccurate, but 
           the initial 8th rests were probably assumed to be ignored.  
           1st & 2nd endings were added at the end and repeat signs 
           were added and repositioned for rhythmical accuracy and 
           combatability between parts.
