notes
Pages 245-246 contain two pieces in G, one without alterations, the other with two flats; they are sometimes considered as one single piece.
The pieces, notated in bass and tenor clef, is without indication of instrumentation, but their range (D-g’) and the context of the entire manuscript make it likely to be for bass viol.
