Main source is a ms of the score dated after 1900, from Conservatorio di Musica San Pietro a Majella, Napoli. In the same Conservatorio there is an ancient copy of the violin parts. Both sources are online available. The modern copy is quite different from the older one, not only on slurs and dynamics, but also in the development of parts.
