Marchand, Paris; doubts of Vivaldi's authorship grew with the discovery of thematic links to other composers, and a letter that reported Vivaldi as saying in 1733 that he had decided not to have any more of his compositions published; Philippe Lescat found a document in which Nicolas Chédeville admitted to the forgery)

found: Chédeville, N. Il pastor fido, c1994:t.p. (œuvre attribuée à Antonio Vivaldi) p. 10-11 (Chédeville composed Il pastor fido in 1736 but did not wish it to appear under his name, perhaps because he wished to give the musette the endorsement from a great composer, and asked publisher Jean Noël Marchand to obtain royal privilege for the engraving, printing and sale of the work; published as Vivaldi's op. 13 in 1737; Marchand declared in an affidavit signed Sept. 17, 1749 that Chédeville was the composer. Ryom doubted the attribution to Vivaldi, based on varied evidence: Vivaldi never composed for the musette or hurdy-gurdy; several movements of the sonatas are borrowed either from works by Vivaldi or works attributed to him in the 18th cent. which have been reassigned to their real composers; etc. Philippe Lescat found the Marchand affidavit in 1989 and reassigned the work to Chédeville.)
