Misc. Notes This edition of this piece takes into account, as close as possible, the Vivaldi's handwriting settings, spacing and position of objects like slurs and accidentals, as well as the contrapuntal simplification of the material. Placement of the text in the voice part is the editor's choice. A set of parts for this edition can be found under the "Parts" tab on this page.
