[2] Correction.
On page 7, read Oblique motion instead of Direct Motion, and Direct Motion where it says Oblique Motion.
[3] MADAME,
I was exceedingly pleased when YOUR IMPERIAL HIGHNESS kindly gave me permission to print the present Rules for accompanying the Partimento, or Figured Bass well, which I expressly composed for YOUR IMPERIAL HIGHNESS.
I was also greatly honored to be granted permission to dedicate them to YOUR IMPERIAL HIGHNESS.
For this reason, I humbly beseech YOU to honor me with YOUR incomparable protection in perpetuity, as I humbly declare myself with all the deepest respect and devotion, YOUR IMPERIAL HIGHNESS’s
most humble, most devoted, most obedient,
and most faithful true servant
Giovanni Paisiello,
Saint Petersburg, 1782.
[2] Correzione.
Al’a Pagina 7, in luogo di leggere Il Moto Retto, devesi dire Il Moto Obliquo; e dove v’è Il Moto Obliquo, devesi dire Il Moto Retto.
[3] MADAME
M’e stato di gran piacere la permissione che VOSTRA ALTEZZA IMPERIALE si è compiacciuta accordarmi in far dare alle stampe le presenti Regole per bene accompagnare il Partimento, o sia il General Basso espressamente da me composte per VOSTRA ALTEZZA IMPERIALE.
Come ancora m’é stato di somma gloria la permissione concessami di poterle a VOSTRA ALTEZZA IMPERIALE dedicare.
