notes
For three of the two-treble pieces the words Pere Marais, 2° dessus par Mr. Roland reveal that the second voice was added by his son Roland Marais.
The manuscript contains other pieces copied from Marais' books in which the original instrumentation with the upper part for bass viol is preserved (see related books).
