Remarks
Score copy. Blue-grey cover.
Cover title (hand of Zelenka): a (upper left) | Nr. 2 (upper right) | Aria: | Pie Jesu | Tenor | VV 2 | Viola | e | Basso Conti: | de S: Conti.
This is a da capo aria without markings or reworkings by Zelenka.
It now is is established that this item is a work by Francesco Conti. See Horn, Hkm, 166–7.
It is possible that Zelenka met the tiorbist Francesco Conti during time he spent in Vienna (between 1716 and 1719) and in Prague also (1723), when Conti played in the performance of Fux’s opera Costanza e Fortezza.
Incipit is given in Zelenka-Dokumentation, 54, Nr. 85a. Horn (Die wichtigsten Schreiber, 164) identifies the copyist of Mus. 2190-E-1 as ZS O.
NB: A score is kept in Dresden (Mus. 2190-I-1) of Conti’s cantata for solo soprano (text by Apostolo Zeno), L’Istro, a work composed for the marriage celebrations in Vienna (1719) between Austrian Archduchess Maria Josepha and the Saxon Electoral Prince Friedrich August II.
