Legrenzi Giovanni

18 Sonatas, Op.10 (Legrenzi, Giovanni)
The page title is incorrect: it should read Sonata No 18 Op 10.

I think it is correct. There are 18 Sonatas in Op. 10 (can somebody confirm this?) out of which we happen to have only number 18, but others might follow at some point.

I don't know − but I think you're right, Boccacio.
Why not using the proper title of the opus: La Cetra. Libro Quarto di Sonate a due tre e quattro stromenti?
BTW, we have an other Op.10 with Acclamationi Divote a voce sola, Libro Primo. I suspect this one could be Op.11 (This notice says "op. XI") and that the misnumbering comes from the Wikipedia lists...

Grove Music's entry for op.10, listed under Instrumental, is:

"[16] La cetra, sonate a 2–4, libro quarto (Venice, 1673) [recte op.11], ed. S. Bonta (Cambridge, MA, 1992), no.13 and 4 ed. in HM, lxxxiii and lxxxiv (1951)"

and the entry for op.11, listed under Sacred (not Sacred Vocal), is:

"[2nd edn of op.10] (Venice, 1680), lost, see Sartori (1966); MS copy, I-Vnm".

My Latin isn't great, but "recte op.11" literally would mean "correctly op.11", which could be interpreted as a) it should have been numbered op.11, or b) the corrected version is op.11.

Anyone more familiar with Grove's use of this term want to weigh in?
