Authorship Note This manuscript collection is ascribed to Pietro Nardini; however, some Capriccios have been identified as the composition of Pietro Antonio Locatelli, from his Op.3; many of these pieces also appear in two manuscripts attributed to Johann Stamitz, D-B Mus.ms. 21134 and A-Wn Mus.Hs.21923. Another manuscript containing many of these pieces, D-Bhm RH 0168, is attributed to Leopold Mozart. |
