Strümper, Viennese music with viols: «Vestito da pietà», «Qual giglio de fiori»
The date 1712 given on the manuscript is certainly incorrect since Emperor Joseph I had died in 1711; Strümper suggests a date of 1708.
In the same opera, the viola da gamba is also used at the basso continuo in the aria with harpsichord obbligato «Qual giglio de fiori».
