About this Item

Peters Nr. 2957 (plate # 8575). SCARCE MIS-ATTRIBUTION. A "Case of Mistaken Identity", these attractive Bonporti (1672-1749) "Inventions" (from his Opus 10 - 1712) having been incorrectly attributed to J.S. Bach until 1911 (possibly because Bach had transcribed them for harsichord solo at one time). The keyboard part is a figured-bass realization by Hugo Gruters and the violin part is edited by Carl Herrmann. [NOTE: The subsequent Peters Edition does acknowledge Bonporti on its cover.] CONTENTS: (1) Largo, Balletto, Scherzo, Capriccio; (2) Moderato grazioso, Aria, Giga, Fantasia; (3) Lamentevole, Balletto, Aria, Fantasia; (4) Largo, Bizzarria, Andamento, Scherzo-Presto. 11+27 pages. CONDITION: An overall Good Plus set. The Violin part [Very Good] is unmarked and uncreased, with age-fading and moderate shelf-wear. The Piano full score [Good] is also unmarked and uncreased, with minimal shelf-wear. Its spine-edge-stapled first 12 pages are loose in the binding.) However, its cover has a tape-repaired spine and shows some discoloration and moderate shelf-wear. This exceedingly rare item is now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board. Seller Inventory # MSC1565
