Trio Sonata 4 in C Major
for 2 violins (or flute / oboe and violin), and continuo.
Preface in English and German
Minuets and Songs
now for the 1st. time published with an introductory notice, by Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe.
2nd. edn.1839
The Introduction is of considerable interest, listing the minuets and giving details of the sixteen ladies to whom the minuets are dedicated.
Of the two songs, "The Lover's Message" and "Death is now my only Treasure", there is the commentary that the latter was sung by the celebrated castrato, Tenducci, and that the work which contains it was scarce even in 1839.
There is also some biography and the following delightful testimonial:
"His temper was as harmonious as his talents; in society, he was universally beloved for his convivial frankness, his good nature, and his good breeding; which, indeed, is but part of the other".
