Extra Information "The harpsichord or violin accompaniment is in general deduced from the score: in forming it I have endeavoured to compress into a third stave as much of the orchestral effect as a necessary simplicity would permit; while, for the convenience of those practitioners whose progress has not yet qualified them to take that department, I have inserted in the vocal stave the melodies of the several symphonies: and where a third stave is spared, the insertion of small notes in the voice-part supplies its absence."
