notes
Given the context of the manuscript, it is likely that it is a transcription of two pieces by Boismortier that are not identified at the moment. The Fanfare Menuet is found anonymously in William Duncombe, Progressive Lessons for the Harpsichord and Piano Forte , London, J. Bland, s. d. [1778] and numerous subsequent teaching anthologies. It is likely that Duncombe took the piece from a printed edition.
