The critical edition of the Sei Concerti armonici by the 'amateur'
musician Count Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer (Twickel, [Delden,
Holland] 1692-Den Haag, 1766) can be seen as the final stage of a
long sequence of studies undertaken by the eminent Dutch
musicologist Albert Dunning: studies that aimed first to identify
the work's composer, then to consolidate its text by means of
rigorous scholarly reconstruction. The enigma of the attribution of
the Concertos dates back to 1740, when the editio princeps was
printed. We finally end up with the name of Pergolesi, inscribed on
an early 19th-century manuscript preserved in the Library of
Congress of Washington. It is with this title and attribution,
therefore, that the musicological and musical world became
acquainted with the Concerti armonici, at least until the 1980s,
when Albert Dunning unearthed a manuscript score of the Concertos,
this time back in Holland in the castle of Twickel. The handwriting
was indeed that of Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer. The new critical
edition of the Concerti armonici offers a text that comes closest
to this 'newly discovered' composer's final conceptions. It thereby
aims to disseminate some splendid works that even impressed a
composer as distinguished as Stravinsky, who based the Tarantella
of his "Pulcinella on the last movement of "Concerto armonico II.
