The last page of the score includes the script: “Questi concertini devon’eseguirsi con solamente quatro Stromenti, cioè, un Flauto Traversier, due Violini, mà che suonano di buon gusto, come pure un Violoncello. La Flutta deve sempre suonare col P.mo
Violino, essendo quella la parte principale; con di più li soli che sono qui notati: s’averte che li Violini devon suonare con tutta la maggior discrezione acciò la Flutta debba sentirsi distintamente, e così anche deve suonare il Violoncello.”;
