Publisher. Info.	Nuova edizione critica delle opere di Antonio Vivaldi Milan: Ricordi, 1983. Plate P.R. 1254. URTEXT EDITION This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material). You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired. More information can be found here. Please obey the copyright laws of your country. IMSLP does not assume any sort of legal responsibility or liability for the consequences of downloading files that are not in the public domain in your country.

Extra Information	Manuscripts formerly owned by Charles Jennens (1700-1773), for whom they were bought in Italy by Edward Holdsworth in 1742. The manuscript collection originally belonged to Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni (1667-1740) and is thought to have been made in 1726 or 1727. It is part of the Newman Flower Collection which is now held by the Henry Watson Music Library , part of the city library in Manchester U.K. Before the manuscript's discovery at the time of the collection's acquisition by the library in 1965, the Sonatas numbered 5, 10, 11 and 12 (RV 759, 760, 756 and 754) were unknown.823SE (Language and Literature Library) Further information: Michael Talbot Discovering Vivaldi's Manchester Sonatas Manchester Sounds 7 (2007-8) 185-193 (Autobiographical account of the discovery of the manuscripts.)
