Hi all:

I have a question about a manuscript source:

http://i39.tinypic.com/2rcn2ip.jpg

This is from a sinfonia by Christoph Graupner and you see

staves are Trumpet 1, 2, Timpani, Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Continuo

I'm not exactly sure what the expression under the first violin means
"ottava bassa" or ottava basso." Or how this would impact performance.

This is the first time I've encountered this phrase in Graupner's music.

Thanks
Kim
