Corrigenda (2020)

The last two pieces (nos. IV and V) had been erroneously attributed to Ivanschiz. They were most likely composed by Franz Asplmayr (1728–1786).
All the works in this volume are actually eighteenth-century arrangements of string trios for flute, viola and cello, prepared for the needs of the court ensemble of Margrave Karl Friedrich of Baden.
The part for “Cembalo” was editorially added in 1983 and should be omitted in performance.

Critical Report

Further sources of the compositions edited by Pokorn are listed here below together with the current catalogue numbers.

I. Trio in G [T.G.1]

PL-MO, 1013

In all the extant sources except the inauthentic arrangement in D-KA, Mus. Hs. 235 (used as a basis for the present edition) this work is scored for violin, viola and basso (i.e. cello or violone).

II. Trio in C [T.B.1]

CZ-Pu, 59 R 3548

CZ-Pk, 3 C 267

CZ-Bm, A 31.744

PL-KRZ, XV-49

D-KA, Mus. Hs. 227 (used as a basis for the present edition) is a transposition to C major. In all other known sources this composition is in B flat major and scored for violin, viola and basso (i.e. cello or violone).

III. Trio in C [T.C.1]

D-B, Mus.ms. 20375 (olim: 33)

D-WÜd, KBD/KES K7 Ms091; this manuscript originates from the Cistercian monastery in Bildhausen.²⁹

In all the known sources, except for the inauthentic arrangement in D-KA, Mus. Hs. 230 (used as a basis for the present edition) the upper part is written for violin.

IV. Trio in G [T(dub).G.1]

In the manuscript from D-KA, Mus. Hs. 225 (used as a basis for the present edition) this work is transposed to G major and incorrectly attributed to Ivanschiz. In all the other known sources the trio is written in F major and scored for two violins and basso (i.e. cello or violone). In all probability, it was composed by Franz Asplmayr. With this attribution it is preserved, inter alia, in CZ-Pnm, XXII A 147 and in S-Skma, C 2-R. Neither of these sources was known to Pokorn. In addition, this composition is mistakenly attributed to Joseph Haydn (Hob. V: F3) in A-SEI, N II C 64.

V. Trio in D [T(dub).D.1]

In the manuscript from D-KA, Mus. Hs. 229 this work is transposed to D major and incorrectly attributed to Ivanschiz. In all the other known sources the trio is written in B flat major and scored for two violins and basso (i.e. cello or violone). It was indisputably composed by Franz Asplmayr. With this attribution it is preserved, inter alia in CZ-Pnm, XXII A 146 and in D-ZL, no shelfmark. Neither of these sources was known to Pokorn.

Notes

^29. Interestingly, this is the only known manuscript of Ivanschiz’s trios that suggests the presence of a basso continuo realization. Its title page contains the following inscription: “Sonatina Tono Del C | â 3 Stromenti | Violino Solo | Viola Solo | Con | Basso Continuo”. However, the simple label “Basso” heads the lowest part, which is not figured.
