Misc. Notes This new typeset writes out the ornaments that in the first edition are given as symbols. But there are errors in their interpretation, such as the second beat of the 3rd bar of the Aria in which the initial turn starts on the wrong note. An appoggiatura is missing in the third bar before the end of the first page of the Aria. There may be additional errors in these files.
