Composers

The source of the instrumental suite is an autograph ms. of separate parts, dated November 6, 1759, available online at the digital library Badische Landesbibliothek Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe (Mus. Hs. 1193).  RISM ID no. 450002003. The original flute parts are in C major, transposed by a fourth in the published parts, as usual (e. g. Vivaldi, Woodcock), so that the appropriate instrument should be a soprano recorder in C.
