Six Trio Sonatas 2

The six Sonate a due violini e basso, published here for the first time, and known to us through a single non-autograph manuscript preserved in Sweden, are his only compositions in this last-mentioned genre. They stand out for their variety and elegance and constitute some of the best instrumental creations of this composer.

In this edition – which comprises a score and separate parts – the numerous errors present in the manuscript are corrected, and a sample realization of the basso continuo is provided. Additionally, information is provided for the first time on the possible date of this collection via an analysis of musical concordances with dated compositions by the composer
