What the original performers made of this sonata is difficult to imagine - I have never encountered source material that is so faulty as the opening section of this excellent sonata. The set of parts actually includes two later violin parts for that section alone, correcting the many copying errors. This piece is far more imitative that the previous work and the violas are much more equal partners of the violins.

This fine sonata is featured on l'arpa festante's CD of music by Pohle, and rightly so - it's among its very best works.
Unusually it features the two violins in very much soloistic roles - there are two sections where they play alone with the continuo.

This fine six-part sonata consists of two extended sections, one in 3/2 time and the other in 6/4, followed by a 15-bar Adagio.
