notes
The alternative viola da gamba overo violoncello is found only in the title, since the separate part is labeled simply "viola da gamba"; the presence of chords that are impossible to play on the cello and the difficult but idiomatic writing for the viol confirm the unambiguous instrumental intention and suggest that the author was a violist.
