notes
The accompaniment part presents a number of obbligato passages written in alto and soprano clef, often in parallel thirds, which frequently go higher than the solo viol part; it is therefore very likely that the b. c. was doubled by a second viola da gamba, although a performance with two viols without a harmonic instrument seems to be excluded by the diligent figuring of the bass.
