Comments: This work is an excellent choice for advancing amateurs not yet comfortable playing the aggressively virtuosic sonatas of Telemann and Vivaldi. Written in five movements (Larghetto, Allegro, Adagio, Allegro, Allegro), the total playing time at moderate tempos is slightly over twelve minutes . The fourth movement is a particularly delightful fugato.

Commentary and critical notes are provided in English, French, and German.
