The source of this edition 3.0 of the Concerto RV 574 is the autograph of the score, Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria, Torino, identifier: TO0265_GIORDANO_31. The second and third movements have many differences from the version arranged by Pisendel (see version 2.0 already published). In particular, some solos of the third movement have been crossed out by the author, but they are legible and therefore I have transcribed them with suitable warnings. In addition, Pisendel's version contains a principal violin solo which does not exist in the autograph and which has not been transcribed in this edition. Any other suggestions from the editor are in parentheses.

The main source of Concerto RV 430 is a manuscript of the score (copyist C. Graupner), online available at Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek, Darmastadt (Mus ms. 411/1, RISM ID no. 450003286). A second source, available in the same library, is a modern transcription by Friedrich Noack, (Mus. ms. 1730). The basso continuo realization in the second movement was transcribed from this second source. Note that this concerto, sometimes tagged as 275a, is a rework with a different second movement of violin concerto RV 275. The first part is indicated as "Violino Principale o Traversa". In fact, in the two outer movements, the part does not contain chords and uses the extension d1-e3 (with one exception in Tutti of the first movement) and may have been written for the flute rather than for the violin.

The source of Concerto RV 275 is the printed edition of parts, Le Cène, Amsterdam, c. 1730: “CONCERTI A CINQUE / Con Violini, Oboè, Violetta, Violoncello / e Basso Continuo / Del (!) Signori / G. Valentini, A. Vivaldi, T. Albinoni, / F. M. Veracini, G. S.t Martin, / A. Marcello, G. Rampin, A. Predieri / Libro Secondo / A Amsterdam / Chez / Michel Charles Le Céne Libraire / N.o 433”. This concerto is an early opus preceding „Estro Armonico“ (1711). The first publication of it is in J. Roger "Concerti a Cinque" (Amsterdam 1717). Note that a copy of this concert, with a different second movement (RV 275a), in possession of Christoph Graupner, indicates the first part as "Violino Principale o Traversa". In fact, in the two outer movements, the part does not contain chords and uses the extension d1-e3 (with one exception in Tutti of the first movement) and may have been written for the flute rather than for the violin. This notice is reported in "The Scoring of Baroque Concertos, Richard Maunder, C. R. F. Maunder".
