If an instrument’s abbreviation is written above a multi-part staff (e.g. “Clarinetti”), the instrument plays
the top part of that staff; if below, the instrument plays the bottom part.

Timpani, percussion, guitar, continuo, and string parts are unchanged from the original.
N.B.: For reasons of copyright, we reprint a public-domain edition of the score, but articulations,
dynamics, phrasing, etc. are based on the critical edition by Alberto Zedda, ed., G. Ricordi, Milan, 1968.
Where parts and score disagree in these details, the parts should be taken as correct. The reader is
encouraged to consult the critical edition.
