Work

Solos (publ. 1740). Edited by Jaroslav Capek. London: Schott.

Description

The 24 short (1-3 minutes each) pieces are all obviously tonal, and in binary or ternary form, with the vast majority being popular dances of the Baroque era such as rondeaux, minuets, and gigues. Only rarely does the range extend above G4, and only once as high as B4. Overall, the music is moderately challenging.
