I have a question about an articulation mark that's unclear to me.
The instruments you see listed are from top to bottom
1st Trumpet
2nd Trumpet
1st Horn
2nd Horn
Timpani
VIolin 1
Violin 2
Viola
Basso
The symbol that's above the first violin that looks like a double
dagger mark (for a lack of a better word) has me befuddled. Can anyone
offer suggestions on how that would be played? The piece is from
Darmstadt Germany, around 1740 and is by Christoph Graupner.
Thanks much and Happy NewYears to everyone!

Actually it *is* a double-dagger, and means the players on each part
should fight it out for first chair. (You know how competetive
orchestras can be!)
