Remarks: According to RISM A/II, this manuscript is from c. 1740–60. The twelve sonatas are bound into a larger volume that displays the ex libris of German musicologist Friedrich Chrysander and contains concertos, sonatas, overtures, and opera fragments from the 17th to the late 18th century by composers including D. Becker, Colista, Pepusch, Porpora, and Steffani. The instrumentations of the twelve sonatas specify violins, oboes, horns, trumpets, cornetts, and trombones, but are incomplete (except that of Sonata 1), obviously later additions in various hands, and almost certainly spurious.
