Does any one know if the other instrumental parts of the Sinfonia (on
page 46 of
this MS) survive? And their whereabouts? And, even better if they have
a band set
they could scan or post a link to?
--
I had, at first, thought it might be a solo piece and the title
referred to the style but,
on playing through I see a Tutti sign (seventh system down) against
arpeggio
figurations that seem clearly to suggest other instruments (strings
maybe with
a traverso even?). There are other following pieces by Hobach with the
same
texture: Andante (48), Allegro (49) which may be movements from a
multi
movement Sinfonia.
--
Page 50 (a long Fuga) is headed Liuto Solo which, perhaps also suggests
the
previous idea. However later pieces in the MS by Hobach suggest solo
pieces
- though unmarked so ( others may know better).
--
This MS duplicates much in Olim Mf 2003) but these Hobach pieces seem
unique
(though. again, others may well know better).
--
I'm looking for a short DM lute Sinfonia.concerto to fit in a programme
and this
'galant' work seems attractive.(and not too tricky to work up!)
