@jsb175017 No question. Durante: 21 scores in his name, the absolute consensus of all 18th and 19th century commentators, an autograph score for a 5-part version in his hand, and a habit for producing multiple versions of the same piece. Pergolesi: 1 score in his name, the enthusiasm of a couple of early 20th century Pergolesi scholars, and not a single attested case of producing multiple versions of the same piece.
Pergolesi or Durante? That is the question!!!!
