Date of performance1763-08-08
Dating of manuscript1765
NotesEven though the opera was premiered or revived in 1763, the rulings in the paper suggest a later creation of the score. The ruling of P65 (10/191A) corresponds to that of P69, which was widely used in 1764; P22 appears in the unstable ruling 10/c.184, which appears in some scores from 1765 (Pergolesi_18034, Piccinni_17812, Gluck_17782). The third paper used, P68, is only known with the ruling 10/187A from two scores from 1765 (Gluck_27.4.13, Gluck_3030-F32). Taken together, this indicates that the manuscript likely dates from 1765.
