This file is from the MIT archive project.
Continuo part has been realised, articulations and dynamic markings have been added. In the Follia, the edition is generally good and quite similar to the "London: Preston & Son, n.d.(ca.1789)" and "London: Augener & Co., Nos.4936a-e, 1888-1891. Plate 9443" ones, but contains a certain number of errors: for instance, a missing DO at page 2, 6th measure, in the violin part.

Supposedly as Corelli himself ornamented it on a concert and approved by Corelli before publishing. Scan of a copy of the music made to fit 2 pages on one A4 page. Printing it at 200% to "landscape"-oriented A3 will make the music more readable.

The edition is not complete: some parts, probably the ones considered more difficult, are clipped (for instance, first clipping starts from measure 48). Moreover, the remainding is characterized by some very debatable editor choices regarding markings but even several notes pitch! At the end, a "more effective (sic!) Coda for concert use" is added.

Misc. Comments
Corelli's "Follia" is notated as though in the Dorian mode, a habit of many baroque composers, due to the melodic minor's tendency to sharpen the sixth.
