Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato Bernarda Pasquiniego – błaha rozrywka czy kunsztowna szarada?

Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato by Bernardo Pasquini: A Simple Entertainment or an Elaborate Charade?The 14 Sonatas for two harpsichords from Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato by B. Pasquini (British Library of London, position: Ms. Add. 31501, I) are unique examples of double partimento. So far, not many performers have referred to these works; therefore, they deserve much more attention. Employing contrapunctual techniques in their realisation seems highly interesting. The author describes and provides her own poliphonic realisation of selected pieces from this collection: Sonata II ms. I, II, III; Sonata V m. II; Sonata VII a due m. I; Sonata X a 2 m. II; Sonata XIII a 2 ms. I and II. This material may be an encouragement for farther studies and performance these works. They are worthy to be a part of the widely known performance of these works.
