The publication of this sonata by the Potsdam court conductor Carl Heinrich Graun is based on a manuscript in the possession of the Saxon State Library in Dresden. Our edition is the first time the work has appeared in print. Editorial additions are marked as such in the score; added slurs are dotted, added ornaments and dynamic markings are bracketed. The harpsichord accompaniment, written after the figured bass, is printed in small print. Content: - Largo - Poco allegro - Vivace

Giambattista Cirri was born in Forli around 1740. He spent most of his life as a violoncellist in England, but then returned to Italy, where he died in 1808. Cirri composed mainly for his instrument. A large number of duets, sonatas and concertos appeared in print in London, Paris and Florence during his lifetime. These three sonatas are a valuable addition to the beginner's repertoire. Their range barely exceeds the first three neck positions, the tonal possibilities of the cello are largely utilised within this framework and the musical content is interesting and stimulating. The realisation of the basso continuo was deliberately kept in the lower register and very simple in order to enable beginners to play together homogeneously. The score reproduces the original musical notation. All additions by the editor are indicated by engraved notes, markings or brackets. In the solo part, the ornaments appear above the musical text. Content: Sonata I - Allegro - Adagio - Menuetto Sonata II - Allegro - Adagio - Menuetto I - Menuetto II Sonata III - Allegro - Adagio - Menuetto The pieces are also available individually as pdf files.

Christoph Schaffrath (1709-1763) was one of the important musicians and composers that the music-loving Frederick II of Prussia gathered around him. He can be described as one of the most interesting and imaginative composers of the Berlin circle. In addition to overtures, symphonies and quartets, he mainly wrote harpsichord works and chamber music in which the keyboard instrument plays a leading role. The editor's work extends to compiling the score, correcting some errors and setting out the continuo parts. Additions to the score are indicated as such by small notes, brackets or dotted slurs. Content: - Allegretto - Adagio - Allegro

The Florentine violinist Antonio Veracini was born in 1659 and died in his home town in 1733. His father Francesco da Niccolò Veracini (1638-1720) was a violinist. He probably received his first lessons in violin playing and composition from him. Antonio's employment by the Grand Duchess Vittoria delle Rovere was probably due to his father's good personal relationships at the Tuscan court. He dedicated his first major work to her, the sonatas op. 1 for 2 violins with basso continuo. Apart from these trio sonatas published in 1692, the violin sonatas (Sonate da Chiesa) op. 2 and violin sonatas (Sonata da Camera) op. 3 are known from his printed compositions. Unfortunately, the music for some of the oratorios documented by the libretti that have been found seems to have been lost. Rogers used the undated reprint published by F. Rosati in Modena and the first edition of 1696 dedicated to ‘Serenissimo Principe Gio Gastone di Toscana’ as a model for this edition of the fourth chamber sonata. The model was tacitly corrected. Additions for practical use have been indicated in the score by bracketing, dashes or small print. Content: - Grave - Largo - Vivace
