Description
The five volumes of Scarlatti keyboard sonatas in the Santini collection in Münster (SANT Hs 3964-3968) represent one of the most important extant sources, containing 352 complete sonatas. Thought to be mostly copied from the Parma volumes after Farinelli’s return to Italy, variant analysis and contextual clues have revealed more complex transmission patterns. The provenance of the collection is further obscured through alterations of the musical text by the original owner. This paper focuses on the work and identity of one of the main copyists of the collection (M1) and their relationship to the other copyists.
