notes
Some pieces have doubles not found in the printed books. The only piece in this manuscript not found in printed books, La Siamoise , is on pp. 178-179, no. 170. The same piece is found in F-Pn GF-Rés VMA MS-94 (ms Delaistre ), for basse de viole, a manuscript written by the same Villeneuve.
The ms. has no bass part which is probably intended to be played from Marais’ original books.
