The first modern editions of two fine sonatas for the unusual combination of four violins and continuo. Both sonatas were probably written around 1690 by the same first-class anonymous Italian composer, and are preserved in the Oxford Music School collection in the Bodleian Library. The D-major work has been recorded by Dr Peter Holman (Hyperion CDA66108, released in 1988) from a private transcription; but this is the first time that either work has been available in print.
