(Old) 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. The scan placed them (and also the triplet markings "*" & "!") in column 32 and they had to be moved. 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. Our editorial dynamics appeared in [] when printed. There were many more slurs in the scanned edition than in the ESF facsimile. This mainly happend in the Vc./Bc. parts. The scanner note often picked up a Print suggestion "P C32:o" or ":u" & we deleted them for they weren't necessary in running our programs. Often it was picking up miscellanies in the scanned material, i.e. when there was probably a dotted slur over two 8ths & identified it as a quarter note (No.1, Mv.1, Vc. m.8, & No.4, Mv.5, Vn.1 m.5). Our editorial slurs are dashed lines. Roger had more cautionary accidentals than the scanned edition, except for the 2nd note in an octave jump when Roger didn't always 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 V in F Major, RV 69 Movement 1 - Preludio, Largo (C) Meas. 3 - Violino 1 - The first note was scanned as C6, the Roger ed. had G5, which fit into the patterns established. Meas. 8 - Violino 1 - Next to last note scanned as a natural. There was not a natural in Roger but it was implied in the harmonic progressions going on. Made an EDITORIAL natural. Meas. 9 - Basso continuo - There was not a flat on the B3 in Roger but it was implied for harmonic reasons, where the key often goes bask to the key signature at the ends of measures. Movement 2 - Allemanda, Presto (C) Like Movement 5 of Sonata IV this movement had a double repeat sign just before the last 8th of measure 10 & an extra measure was generated because of this. But since it was not in 12/8 it didn't scan note values wrong. Meas. 21 - Vc. and Bc. - Scan had "p" on 2nd beat. The Roger edition was cramped here and started the "Piano" below the 1st quarter & ended it just before the last quarter. Musically is seems logical that it was intended to come after the cadence on the 1st beat. Made notes in the files but it was not made an editorial accidental. Movement 3 - Corrente, Allegro (3/4) The repeats were scanned with a "mheavy2 21 :|" in bar 21 and "mheavy3 22 |:" in bar 22. In Roger it was a "mheavy4 21 :|:". Meas. 5 - Violoncello - Scanned as an 8th, a quarter, and "irest 3" (= dotted quarter)! Roger had an 8th rest followed by five 8ths. Meas. 34 - Basso continuo - Scan missed the # on C#3. Meas. 40 - Violino 1 - Fifth 8th note scanned as C6 and Roger had Bf5 (see m.2 & 22 and pattern). Meas. 57 - All parts - No fermata scanned on last note. Fermata in the Roger edition. Movement 4 - Gavotta, Presto (C) The Roger ed. had an extra half note at the end in the Vc. and Bc. part. There is a slur across the :|: from the beginning of the last measure and including the half note at the end, which may be an old way of notating a second ending. This was another instance of the repeat sign coming in the middle of a measure, thus generating an extra measure and causing the pick up measure to be counted as measure 1. I entered the 1st and 2nd endings like the scan. Perhaps Mvt.5 of Sonata IV should have had first and second endings.
