notes

Marx’s datation in 1707 is contradicted by Kirkendale, Ursula, Handel with Ruspoli. New Documents from the Archivio Segreto Vaticano, December 1706 to December 1708, «Studi musicali», 2003, p. 301-348 and Articles Viola da gamba, Violoncello, Contrabbasso in «Händel-Lexikon» (Händel-Handbuch, Vol. 6), Laaber, Laaber Verlag, 2011. The presence of the viola da gamba links the cantata to the German violist Ernst Christian Hesse who visited Rome in 1708.
The cantata has been print first in 1797.
