notes
This suite could be identical with the Suite für die Gambe und den General-Bass by Mente reviewed by Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg in Kritische Briefe über die Tonkunst: von einer musikalischen Gesellschaft in Berlin, Berlin, Birnstiel, 1761, 87. Brief, pp. 178-179. Marpurg however does not indicate the tonality and attests its publication in 1754.
