Notes | The score originates from Therese Ziss’s workshop, where P79 was used very frequently in 1767. Several scores from 1765 and 1766 written in this workshop included P89 which was used in Gassmann_27.5.1–3 only in one gathering where twelve staves were needed. Apart from these ten folios, we can compare Gassmann_27.5.1–3 with scores that used P79 exclusively. Such scores written on P79 involving WK67B were created in either 1767 (Piccinni_10062, Hasse_17298, Galuppi_27.6.20–21) or at the latest in the early days of 1768 (Gassmann_18086 with its premiere on January 5, 1768), suggesting that Gassmann_27.5.1–3 was written in 1767, too. Together with a group of other opera scores, this manuscript from the collection of archduchess Maria Carolina was probably written in the run-up of her wedding and move to Naples in May 1768. |
