aka Giuseppe (Joseph) Porsille (d. 1750) Kapellmeister in Vienna. Also worked
in Barcelona. Adolf Koczirz publ. his partita in g, and it is probably Koczirz
who attributed the work to Porsille. (In the past B and P were often
interchanged, e.g., Bachelbel and Pach, so the attribution is probably
correct.) Porsille was a prolific composer of operas. Another Viennese opera
composer Caldara is represented in that manuscript, too. He was a major
pre-classical composer in Vienna. As Roman suspected, there is a longish
article about him in New Grove ("Porsile"). The partita is accepted without
question as his.
