manuscript
A-Wn 16598
The manuscript is dedicated to an unnamed king, most probably of the Habsburg family.
Four of these sonatas (1-3 and 6) are identical with sonatas I, II, III and V printed in L'Echo du Danube, op. IX. The sonata no. 4 in A minor has some movements in common with sonata VI in the same print.
