Sonata per violoncello e basso continuo

Description

Cello, Piano — The two manuscripts in oblong size (by the same hand) entitled "Sinfonia a Violoncello Solo" which served as the basis for the present edition are being kept in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna under shelf mark E.M.29. Apart from the continuo realization and modifications in the sense of present-day notation carried out tacitly all other changes are listed in the footnotes, editorial additions have been put in square brackets. The bass part was supported in contemporary practice by a melody instrument. If performing with piano accompaniment, the supporting of the bass is not necessary. In case of harpsichord accompaniment, however, it is recommended to play the bass on bassoon instead of violoncello.
