COVER: An illustration of p. 44 from the autograph manuscript for J. A. Sheibe's Passionscantate (1768) (Royal Library, Copenhagen, Gieddes Samling, XI, 24). It shows a highly dramatic recitative (`the curtain is torn and the holy flame penetrates the abominable darkness'). At first sight the manuscript seems easy to read; however, Scheibe's notational practice in terms of accidentals creates problems for the modern editor. Scheibe wrote extensively on the function of recitative, and especially on the subtle distinction between declamation and recitative. Peter Hauge
