Urtext. Composed
by Antonio Vivaldi.

Vivaldi's
only oboe sonata requires
an interpretation, since
the thoroughbass part is
not figured. Thanks to
Martin Nitz's
stylistically authentic
realization and careful
editorial work, this
rather neglected piece is
sure to find many new
friends.

It is
generally quite easy to
adapt sonatas for Baroque
oboe (and continuo) to
the soprano recorder
since both instruments
have an identical range.
Yet considering the great
popularity of the
previously published
works, it is strange that
Antonio Vivaldi's only
sonata for this
instrument has received
little attention to date.
This edition is based on
a manuscript preserved in
the Sachsische
Landesbibliothek Dresden
under the class. no. Mus.
2389-S-1. The preparation
of the edition entailed
the adjustment of the
accidentals to
present-day practice, and
the realization of the
(unfigured) thoroughbass
part. No slurs were added
to those already
contained in the
manuscript so as to allow
the performer to find his
own solutions. Otherwise
the virtually error-free
manuscript was reproduced
without change. We wish
to thank the directors of
the Sachsische
Landesbibliothek Dresden
for their authorization
to publish the work.

Vern
on Park, Stockport’s
oldest park, was created
on land donated by Lord
Vernon (George John
Warren). It was built by
poor mill workers who
called it pinch-belly
park and opened on 20th
September 1858.
Comprising twenty-one
acres, it houses a
museum, a bandstand,
ornamental fountains, a
fernery, rockery, borders
and sunken rose garden as
well terraced walkways
that overlook the river
and weir. The piece
depicts a solitary walker
engrossed in his own
thoughts on a winter’s
day, the landscape, and
the park’s Victorian
past.
At the very
end of the piece a
reminder of the park’s
Victorian origins can be
detected in a quote from
Elgar’s Salut d’amour
of 1899, which may well
have been played by a
band in the bandstand.
Stockport market
celebrated its 750th
anniversary in 2010. It
dated back to September
1260 when a Royal Charter
allowed Robert de
Stokeport, the Mayor, to
hold a weekly market
within the defensive
walls of the Norman
Castle on the present
site of Castle
Yard.
The Glass
Umbrella was a popular
name given to the 1861
covered market built of
timber, glass and iron -
nine bays with open sides
and a glass canopy. In
1912, one bay was removed
to enable electric trams
and trolley buses to turn
a sharp
corner.
The piece
depicts a lively market
day, the multiculturalism
of the present day and
the old cries of pick and
pay without delay. The
bells of St Mary’s
Church are depicted by a
cascading peel tuned to
the ten bells of the
church tower, and a
fleeting reference to
John Wainwright’s
famous Christmas hymn
Christians Awake, and the
Westminster chimes
striking the hour from St
Mary’s, bring to piece
to a conclusion. Separate
parts are provided for
recorder and oboe.

part as they play.
