CONCERTI DI FLAUTI

This edition is based on the autograph manuscript score in the possession of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice, catalogue number Ms. It. IV, 573 ( = 9853), Concerti di vari strumenti, IV.
The score is headed Concerto di Flauti (that is, concerto for recorders), and the four instrumental lines, written in soprano, alto, tenor and bass clefs respectively, are headed
“Due Flauti soprani e due sordini”
“Due Flauti contralti et una Violetta sordina”
“Due Flauti Tenori et una Violetta sordina”
“Un Flauto Basso e Violoncello”.
This represents and imaginative solution to the problem of balance between recorders and strings by having two recorders to a part for the top three parts and muting the unison strings. The work is very effective for recorder consort alone, with or without the basso continuo.
All editorial markings are differentiated from the original text by means of thin square brackets and slashed slurs. Two corrections in the tenor recorder part are:
First movement, bar 12, note 1 = d’;
Second movement, bar 9, note 2 = F”.
Certain “dilettantish” parallel octaves and fifths in the work have been deliberately left uncorrected.
The realisation of the basso continuo is by Dr Walter Bergmann. I should like to express my appreciation to him and Mr Ian Abernethy for the help they gave in the preparation of the edition.
The work is published by kind permission of the Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice. - David Lasocki
