A network for historic guitars and vihuelas
Carulli's handwriting
In the library of the BNF we can find a manuscript of Carulli's opus 320 written by
Ferdinando Carulli himself. Dedicated to Matteo Carcassi (this questions if the story
that they were rivals is true).
The note on the front page, written by Carulli, says that he sold the work to Mr. Roy
who may print and sell this work and that Carulli received the money for the work.
Dated september 10 1829. Signed by Carulli.
The question is what J,146.R means.

Hello Hans, a wonderful find again (you seem to have gotten the Gallica bug like me). You may try to find out if Mr Roy's first initial was 'J'. In that case it could be an internal 'score number' or something from Mr. Roy's publishing firm.

Yes, but why would you have a (print-)plate number on a manuscript?

Those are great pieces. I've been looking for an original publication of Op. 320 for a while (have the Chiesa - Zerboni edition) but this is even better!!
Thanks for digging this out Hans...good work!

I've always appreciated the Chiesa editions. I think they are well done and faithful to the originals.
