Misc. Notes Differentiation between first and second bassoon is slightly different from H. C. Robbins Landon's edition. At letter Z, the two oboes are in unison for four measures after that they are are in thirds for three measures and unison again for the final measures; I neglected to indicate the divergence and final return to unison but I don't consider this a serious enough mistake to upload new files. All four horns in F (valved) as opposed to having one pair of natural horns crooked in D and the other in F as was often done in the period for music in D minor, or having all horns making some awkward crook changes (as a literal reading of the original score of this piece would seem to suggest). The scholar interested in these matters may look at the H. C. R. L. edition; I see no reason to bother performers with this particular issue, interesting though it may be to some.

  • It was tradition in Salzburg under Archbishop Sigismund to have an oratorio for Lent co-authored by three composers. For Lent 1771, Schachtner's oratorio Die menschliche Wanderschaft consisted of three parts: I. Der laue Christ, II. Der büßende Sünder, and III. Der sterbende Fromme. Adlgaßer wrote the music for Part I, Haydn for II and Krinner for III.

  • Three sopranos (Love, Hope and Delight), three tenors (Faith, Peaceful Nature, and the Sinner), SATB choir, 2 oboes, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, strings. Note there's only two horns (though H. C. R. L. does mention a second pair was a later addition). The presence of continuo is my supposition, though very well supported by Leopold Mozart's remark often quoted by Sherman and what Prof. Conway has told me about the ubiquitousness of continuo playing even in the absence of figures.
