FOOTNOTES

1. [01:26] Pieces with the title Mein junges Leben hat ein End include an anonymous keyboard setting: Linz, Bibliothek des Landesmuseums Inc. 9467 (‘Orgeltabulatur 1611’), and two lute settings: (1) Copenhagen, Kongelige Bibliotek, Samling Thottske, quart 841, ‘Liederbuch des Petrus Fabricius’ (c.1605-08). (2) The lute book of F. Taut (1621), also known as MS 4022 or the Danzig lute book, f. 20.

2. [04:47] The rhetorical figure bombus / bombilans is mentioned in Jeremias Drexel, Orbis Phaëthon (Munich, 1629) [link], p. 93; Moritz Feyertag, Syntaxis minor (Duderstadt, 1695) [link], p. 229; Wolfgang Caspar Printz, Phrynis Mitilenaeus, Oder Satyrischer Componist (Dresden und Leipzig, 1696), part two, [link] p. 50 ; Gottfried Walther, Musicalisches Lexicon (Weimar, 1728) [link], p. 103.

5. [08:20] In the modern edition shown in this episode the soprano and alto parts are put on the upper staff and the tenor and bass parts are put on the lower staff. In the original notation, as well as in many modern editions, the division between the upper and lower staff is related more to which hand plays what, and not to the voices. As mentioned, this is relevant mainly to variation one, two, and six (the last), where there is almost always a consistent four-voice writing.
