Extra Information
|
Grove Music does not list the flute part, although RISM does. However, the RISM entry says "C. A. T. B. Con 5 instromenti", and the string parts + continuo add up to 5 without the flute part. The RISM entry also says the copyist was "Schreiber: Düben, Gustav <1628c-1690>", so this is not an autograph manuscript or an official first edition. On the other hand, Grove Music says there are 2 versions, but does not elaborate on what the differences are. Since the flute part anyway doubles 1st violin for the entire piece, it is left out of the tag. After the Sinfonia, the Aria is composed over a chaconne bass.
