His own composition “Sonata a tutta Orchestra / per
Corno Bassetto / Violino Primo / principale” is
preserved in the ‘Biblioteca di archeologia e storia
dell’arte’ in Rome (sig. Mss. Vess. 545). The wind
instruments (2 clarinets, 2 horns, bassoon) play only
in the tutti parts and mainly have the function of
boosting the sound. Therefore it is possible to play
the sonata without much loss of substance with basset
horn and string quartet. For this purpose we have
prepared a separate viola part.
