This is the first edition of the Respighi’s cataloguer, its cataloguing. The parts are undated and are written by an anonymous copyist. The musical contents suggest that this is a juvenile composition of the composer while student at the Bologna Conservatory. The central part of the Scherzo consists of a canon at the octave between the first violin (dux) and the viola (comes) at the distance of a quarter note. Obvious errors made by the copyist have been amended in this edition.
