NOTES on Vivaldi Opus 1 - Trio Sonatas I - XII 
                          (Sept. 9, 2009) 

    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 old "+", "x" figured bass notations in Roger were replaced 
    by the easier to read "#" as a figure or an addition to a figure. 
    When "/" & "\" crossed through numbered figures modifying their 
    function, we modified the numbers with a "#" "b" or a natural, as 
    was appropriate - hopefully clarifying the reading of the figures.  
    (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" acts like a "#" here for Roger 
    frequently uses "6b","5b", & "4b", i.e. -  No. 1, Mvt.2 m.17-18.  
    A "\" in conjunction with a 5 or a 9 doesn't print. (No. 2 Giga) 

    SONATA I in g minor, RV 73  (The facsimile was in one flat.) 
      All movements were transcribed to 2 flats (modern notation) in 
        the files for op1no1gm.  

      Movement 1 - Preludio, Grave (In common time, C) 

      Movement 2 - Allemanda, Allegro  (C) 

      Movement 3 - Adagio  (3/2) 
        Mvt. 3  is a short movement full of modulations, starting in 
          Eb Major and ending in D major.  
        Meas. 19 - Vc. & Bc. - The dynamic "p" on the 2nd half note       
          in Roger.  Moved it to the 3rd half note to be in agreement       
          with Vn.1 & Vn.2. 
      Movement 4 - Capriccio, Allegro  (3/4) 
        Meas. 14 - Violino 2 - Last note a C5 in Roger but it seems 
          wrong.  Changed to a Bf4, which fits the pattern in the 
          surronding measures.  Entered EDITORIAL Bb.  
        Meas. 17 - Vc. & Bc. - The facsimile only had a # on the F3s 
          but it is obvious that the F4 is also sharped.  

      Movement 5 - Gavotta, Allegro  (C)
