for!

I'm not exactly sure what the expression under the first violin means
"ottava bassa" or ottava basso." Or how this would impact performance.
If it were mine, it would be a way to correct an octave error without
re-inking the page. The parts were in parallel, and the lower two drop. It
would make sense for the top part to drop as well to keep the voicing
balanced.
But that's just a composer's guess, not historically informed.
