notes
The viola da gamba sometimes plays an inner part, and sometimes a realization of the basso continuo, with typically violistic chords.
The suites in this collection, called Concerte by the author, involve various instrumental combinations; the viola da gamba is used in 4 Concerte together with violin I, lute I and b. c.
