As sources for this present edition served the manuscript marked Mus. ms. Bach St. 296 held in the Staatsbibliothek Preussischer Kulturbesitz at Berlin. The original title reads: Sonata / a / Flauto Traverso / e / Cembalo Concertato / di / J. C. Bac h. Our edition follows closely the manuscript except for the arrangement according to present-day notation (use of accidentals, the addition of slurs to tie the appoggiatura to the main note, etc.). Obvious errors are listed in the Critical Notes. Sl urs have been but in square brackets. The basso continuo marked in the original by figuring is given here in small print. Gyorgy OrbanAls Quelle der vorliegenden Ausgabe wurde das in der Berliner Staatsbibliothek preussischer Kulturbesitz unter der Signatur Mus. ms. Bach st. 296 aufbewahrte Manuskript herangezogen. Der Titel lautet: Sonata / a / Flauto Traverso / e / Cembalo Conc ertato / di / J. C. Bach. Unsere Ausgabe folgt treu dem Manuskript, mit Ausnahme von der heutigen Notation entsprechenden Transkription (die Anwendung von Versetzungszeichen sowie der Ersatz von Bogen, die den Vorschlag mit der Hauptnote verbinden us w.) Auf die offensichtlichen Fehler wird in dem Kritischen Bericht hingewiesen. Die Bogen wurden dagegen auf Grund von eindeutigen analogen Stellen stillschweigend ersetz. Alle anderenZutaten stehen in eckigen Klammern. Der Basso continuo, der in de m Originalmanuskript durch Bezifferung gekennzeichnet wurde, wird hier in Kleinstich gebracht. Gyorgy Orban.

Very little is known about the two sonatas which appear here in their original keys. They were placed in the library of the Music School in Oxford at the end of the seventeenth century in a form convenient for playing (i.e.unbound). The library was catalogued by Hake between 1850 and 1855 and the sonatas were eventually bound in 1855 with other instrumental and vocal manuscripts of the same period, some of which are dated 1698.The sonatasare both inscribed on the title page Sonata Violone Solo. Col Basso per l'Organo, o Cembalo. A third sonata bears the words Sonata Violino e Violoncino â?¦ di Giovannino del Violone. Giovannino (=Little, or Young John)musthave been a performer, and although the third sonata has been copied by a different hand, it is conceivable that Giovannino is a connecting link between the three. He cannot, however, be assumed to be theirauthor.The Violone was a six-stringed instrument with frets, and there is evidence to suggest that the Contrabasso of the same period was similar but probably a little larger; the Violoncino (=Little Violone, orVioloncello) must have been smaller. The word 'Violone' was also used as a collective term embracing all members of the Viol family, which means that the sonatas might well have been written for a tenor or a bass Viol, and notnecessarily a Violone as such. Indeed, when they are played on a Violone, or Double Bass the continuo bass line must be played at a lower pitch than the solo instrument, to prevent inversion of the intended harmony. (The use ofa Violone/Double Bass continuo or 16' organ tone would overcome this problem.)The editor has added no ornaments or embellishments to the solo part as it appears in the original manuscript. It is open to debate whether aViolone player, owing to the very nature of his instrument, would have used any but the simplest melodic decorations. Nevertheless, the performer should acquaint himself thoroughly with those seventeenth century traditions thatare known today (see Dart.
