Short instrumental pieces. Two part books for 'mean-viall' and 'base-viall'.
Scope & Content:
A collection of instrumental pieces without titles and (with one exception) anonymous. The 'Mean-Viall' and 'Base-Viall' parts. Owing to the fragmentary character of many of the compositions and the fact that a considerable number of leaves has been torn out in each volume, it is impossible to give a complete list of the contents.The principal pieces are:—1. A set of twenty-three short variations in B flat. vol. i, ff. 2b-4.2. In A minor. vol. i, f. 16b; vol. ii, f. 17b (reversed).3. In G minor. vol. i, 17b (reversed); vol. ii, f. 15.4. In G. vol. i, f. 18 (reversed); vol. ii, f. 13b.5. In D. vol. i, f. 19 (reversed); vol. ii, f. 12b.6-28. Twenty-three short pieces in various keys. vol. i, ff. 28-22b (reversed); vol. ii, f. 2-8.29-33. 'Mr [John ?] Banister's tunes in D solra (sic).' vol. ii, ff. 8b-9b. Paper; ff. 28, 32.
