In this edition, only the notation of the accidentals and of the bass figures gave been adapted to modern standards. The original beaming has, however, been retained since it often provides valuable hints for the intended articulation. The only editorial problem concerns the exact length and position of slurs, which are not always clearly indicated. All editorial additions besides the realization of the thorough bass are inserted in square brackets. In accordance with the sources, the flute and basso parts are presented in a performance score, rather than in separate parts, thus allowing a more intimate interplay among the performers. A keyboard player experienced in 18th-century performance practice may prefer to accompany directly from the performance score over using the realization of the basso continuo offered here. —- Ulrich Leisinger
