notes
In vol. 6, both solo and bass part are written in tablature for viol. In vol. 7, the pieces are notated in score with the solo part in tablature and the bass part on staves or, for lack of space, in German letter tablature.
2 pieces in vol. 6 are without accompaniment.
4 pieces are included in both volumes 6 and 7; 3 pieces are found in Kühnel's Sonate e partite as well. For details on these concordances see http://vdgs.org.uk/thematic/K.pdf.
