Abbreviations and Notes on Sources

All the musical scores of Leopold’s Schlafkammerbibliothek in A-Wn have been digitized and are available at www.onb.ac.at, also the site for Minato’s 1700 collection of sacred libretti, Tutte le rappresentazioni sacre (Vienna, 1700; A-Wn, *38.J.133, here abbreviated as RS), an edition typographically but not textually different from the first editions of his libretti. The pre-1670 and post-1698 libretti, along with the post-1705 scores, in A-Wn have not yet been made available on the Internet. Italian poetic meters are indicated either by the technical term or by numerals and the abbreviations: p=piano; t=tronco; s=sdrucciolo. For indications of local pitch centers within pieces, I have used pitch-class names and an indication of either durus/mollis signatures (natural or 1 flat) or of seventeenth-century transpositions (e.g., “2 flats” indicating a “church-key” down a major second). Appendix 2 lists the home tonal centers of the surviving repertory according to this terminology, a practice used also in the text.

Libraries bear the standard RISM sigla, available at www.rism.info/en/sigla. Historical information on Vienna in and out of the Hofburg, if not cited specifically, has been taken from F. Czeike’s Historisches Lexikon Wien (Vienna, 1992–97), online at http://www.digital.wienbibliothek.at/wbrobv/content/titleinfo/1112764. In order not to confuse readers, I have employed the forms “Eleonora Gonzaga” (II, of Mantua/Nevers, 1630–86) and “Eleonore Magdalene” (of the Palatinate/Neuburg, 1655–1720) for Leopold I’s stepmother and third wife, respectively. All translations are mine.
