19Development is concerned with that section, in the larger forms of composition, in which the (previously stated) principal ideas (subjects) of the movement are independently worked out, i.e. the motives are mixed together and combined in a new way. Especially in the most important of all modern instrumental forms, the sonata form, the D. directly follows the repeat (repetition of the subjects), thus standing in the middle between the first statement of the subjects and their final entry. In the Fugue the running of the subject (as Dux and Comes) once through all the voices concerned is a D., so that one speaks also of a second and third D. in a fugue. In any case, the term D. is derived from the fugue, for formerly the D. of the sonata movement also took by preference a fugal turn. (Cf. Form.)
21Dies, for "Biographie Haydns nach mündlichen Erzählungen," read "Biographische Nachrichten von Joseph Haydn," etc.
23Doles. The Monatshefte f. Musikgeschichte (1893, No. 8) published an extract from the Leipzig Gelehrten Tagebuch of the year 1797, with an obituary notice and (? auto-) biography of D., according to which D. was born April 23, 1715, and died Feb. 8, 1797.

37Duiffopruccar. As Henry Coutaigne points out ("Gaspard Duiffoprouccart et les luthiers lyonnais du xvii. siècle," Paris 1893), all the notices on Tieffenbrucker up to the present are incorrect. Kaspar Tieffenbrucker lived at any rate from 1553 at Lyons, where he had landed property, which was appropriated in 1564 on account of a plan for new fortifications. He died 1570 or 1571. According to a portrait engraved by Pierre Woeirot in 1562, the date of his birth was 1514. No violins by T. seem to have been preserved.
