Misc. Notes Newly engraved version of all instrumental pieces (Incidental music) from the complete opera. Errors have been corrected without further notice. I started the engraving some years ago using the manuscript scan from the BnF but noticed that the scan ends in the final Chaconne at bar 914, this year found a new digitized score from the Leipzig library with the full Chaconne in handwriting, so I used this version to complete the Chaconne (indicated with a (*) in the score). I did not cross reference the 2 versions for discrepancies. Continuo ciffres not included (might do it separately at a later point)...
