According to the title page of the original print, these six sonatas are suitable for harpsichord, viola da gamba, violin or German (transverse) flute; nevertheless, only the first two options are immediately feasible, because of the range of the upper line and the presence in it of multiple stopping.
The sonatas, due to their simplicity, may be conveniently played by a treble recorder, providing the right transposition.
