| Description |
Disbound, sewn. Engraved. This is the third collection which never had a separately printed title-page. It comprises four arias through paginated 1-11, preceded by the trio paginated 2-5, which had already been published. Two of the named singers did not take part in the original run of performances in 1735, and Strada, who sang the title role, is here named as singing one of Morgana's arias originally performed by Cecilia Young. |
