Johann Baptist Wanhal

Litania in C Nokki 83 [Weinmann XXa:C1/C4]

Wanhal ?
Nokki 83
Weinmann XXa:C1
Weinmann XXa:C4
FreS d334

Attributed name: Franz Schneider

Authenticity: Probably authentic

This work is attested to Wanhal in a large number of sources, with no counterattributions. Stylistically the music is plausibly by Wanhal. See in particular that the Salus infirmorum ends using a Mons Wanhali.

One manuscript copy found in Maria Taferl carries the name of Franz Schneider. Schneider (1737-1812) was a regens chori in the monastery in Melk. His name has most likely been attached to this work from a copy made by him; Wanhal's authorship is not seriously in doubt from the two known misattributions (one stemming from the mid-1800s).

On Weinmann

In Weinmann1987 this work is listed as both XXa:C1 and XXa:C4 as the former used a soprano incipit and the latter an incipit from the first violin part. There does not appear to be any further difference between them.

Both RISM and Weinmann1987 give the date 1776 for the manuscript, but neither justifies this.

Not seen. Information from RISM. Weinmann1987 discusses a manuscript from Kuks that supposedly contained two clarinet parts. He was most likely thinking of this manuscript, and mistook the trumpets (clarini) for clarinets (clarinetti).

Contains the following parts only: S, T, B, Vla, Clno 1, Clno 2.
