notes
The viola da gamba part only rarely diverges from that of the basso continuo. A note by Sébastien de Brossard in Vm7 1111 assigns the part, unlike Vm7 1110, to "une basse de Violle, ou de Violon ou un Basson", on its separate part he indicates the "violoncello obligato".
The dating of 1695 is based on a note by Sébastien de Brossard in his catalogue.
