Note

The identity of the composer, 'Maestro Martini', is uncertain. Under the title 'Vada sì via di qua', the work is conjecturally attributed, in RISM, to Giovanni Battista Sammartini; see RISM IDs: 530000487 and 530000638. Elsewhere, the work has been attributed, variously, to Vicente Martín y Soler, Johann Paul Aegidius Martini, and Giovanni Battista 'Padre' Martini, of whom the last seems least likely given the general tenor of his output.

Note

Having worked for some years in partnerships, Samuel Chappell set up in business on his own in or about 1830; see: British Book Trade Index. Samuel Chappell, musicseller, of 50, New Bond Street, died, aged 52, on 17th December, 1834.
