Submission by Janey
Musicological Oh Snap! du jour:
Regarding a cantata spuriously attributed to Handel
The bass line, which sketches out the most obvious harmonies, is composed almost entirely of repeated half notes, and the outer accompanying parts rely to an unbelievable degree on chains of sequences...All in all, it would seem most charitable not to seek further for the composer.
John Mayo, "Handel's Italian Cantatas" (PhD Diss, 1977)
