Valentino Nicolay; Piano Concerto No.2 in G, Op.16

Valentino Nicolay (fl. 1742-1802), a.k.a. Valentin Nicolai, was an Austrian (?) composer. Of the very few sources I found about him, most (including IMSLP where I found the scores) did not indicate a nationality, but I found one French source that claimed he was Austrian, so I'm going with that. One thing that no source had was information regarding the year of his birth, but one could guess that it was some time in the 1720's based on the years he was active.

Last week I did his first concerto:    • Valentino Nicolay; Piano Concerto No....  
This is the second. I am not aware of any others, but it is a possibility. He was evidently living in France for some time when composing this - the title page even lists his home address in Paris, which you can visit today, though I'm not sure if there's much of interest there. (I've cropped it from the video to better fit the frame, but you can see it if you download the score from IMSLP.)

Movements:
0:00 - I. Allegro
10:42 - II. Adagio
16:57 - III. Rondo. Allegro molto

As in the first concerto, there were no cadenzas provided, so I've written my own for the first and second movements. The third movement was a bit of a challenge getting all the parts to line up, as it makes use of multiple repeat segments, D.S. and/or D.C. markings, and they seem to be on different measures on every part, sometimes the repeats use the standard |: and :| symbols, and sometimes they write it out a second time, and other times, it's only written once and you have to figure out from context on other parts that a given section is supposed to repeat. There are also missing accidentals galore, so I've made corrections as best as I can.

Disclaimer: Yes, it's synthesized. Obviously real musicians with real instruments would be vastly superior, but this simulated performance is better than nothing at all, which is what existed previously. My greatest wish is that these videos will inspire someone with the means to arrange a real performance and hopefully record and publish it so we can hear them in their full glory. If that someone is you, or you know of an existing recording of this, please let me know and I may add a link to this description.
