27179Oblong folio 350 x 260 mm. Unbound. Notated in black ink on 12-stave hand-ruled paper. Watermark: star and "DFI." i blank 11 pp. Signature of 3 bifolia. Unsigned and undated. A fair copy. <br/><br/>Contents:<br/>- Andante/All:to in E-flat major common time<br/>- All:to Vivace in E-flat major common time<br/>- Marcia da Tartaro Allegretto in B-flat major cut time<br/>- Tempo di Polacca in F major 3/4 time<br/>- Marcia trionfale Allegretto Vivace in B-flat major 2/4 time<br/><br/>Slightly soiled; outer margin of first blank leaf browned; final leaf creased at lower outer corner. We have been unable to establish either the composer or the scribe. The overall style of writing with capital F but lowercase p for dynamics from pp to FF plus "cres" occasional use of "8va" and "loco" but sparse articulation and with expressive marks limited to an occasional "dolce" seems to point to ca. 1800. The style is rather simple; the first two pieces are strangely formless with the first ending on a four-six chord suggesting that the composer was an amateur. unknown books
