This sonata is a transcription of the Sonata in A minor for viola da gamba and basso continuo. The four movements offer the performer the opportunity to play in a sustained, choral manner as well as in an exuberant, virtuosic manner. The original text is evident next to the ornaments. Confidence in the higher registers is required. The use of a harpsichord with continuo bass instrument is recommended for this sonata, for which a separate continuo part is included with the sheet music. This arrangement is intended for the double bass in solo tuning, nevertheless a transposed piano part is included.
