The Work

Le journal de printemps was printed in Augsburg in 1695. However, the source used for this edition is not the print but a manuscript with the number F-529 held in the Philidor collection now preserved in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. This music was previously published here with the assumed composer Jean Baptiste Lully.

This Edition

I have always tried to be as close to the original as possible. Editorial changes have been put above the staffs, or within parenthesis. Slashed figures in the continuo have been replaced with their flat/natural or sharp equivalents. All accidentals and clefs have been converted to modern standard. The original clefs was (bottom-up) Bass, Tenor, Alto, Soprano and Treble.
