Bettina Hoffmann
Catalogue of Solo and Chamber Music for Viola da Gamba
anonymous (conjecturally attributed to Angelo Caroli)
Trio for Flauto Traversso, Viola da Gamba and Basso, in G major
manuscript
D-ROu Mus. Saec. XVIII 66/7
Cornetto-Verlag (as “anonymous FL”); Maders kleine Musikbibliothek (under the name of Angelo Antonio Caroli)
The manuscript is anonymous, bearing only Pez's name added in lapis by a later hand. In the collection’s catalogue (Catalogus No. 3|7), however, the piece is registered under the name of a certain «Licaro». Ekkehard Krüger (see bibliography) proposes a dating of the manuscript before 1720 and an attribution to Angelo Caroli, of whom other compositions for transverse flute are known. He excludes for chronological reasons an association with the Bolognese composer Angelo Antonio Caroli (1701-1778) of whom only vocal works are known.
The parts are signed at the end «Fine FL» or «Fine JL», which might be a signature of the composer or of the copyist.
