Apparently the original score has a contrabassoon part? Is this possibly a typo of contrabass, or just a bassoon? They weren't really invented by 1709 (see Contrabassoon) but the comment is cited to Dean & Knapp, which I don't have at my local library so cannot verify. Anyone know more about contrabassoon probability? Cheers TreeReader (talk) 00:35, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the instrumentation given in the article seems unlikely. The opening sinfonia is scored for oboe, violin I, II, III, a violetta, and bassi. Bärenreiter doesn't mention any bassoons. Even if Dean and Knapp's citation is correct, the score should be examined fully. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:37, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
