Arcangelo Corelli e altri autori : Sonate a Violino solo col Basso continuo

A volume with ten violin sonatas was published in score in 1697 by Estienne Roger in Amsterdam and by Estienne Tabuteau in Utrecht (see RISM A/I C 3855). The individual sonatas do not display the names of the composers, but some can be determined from concordances. These are to be found in the supplement volume of the Historisch-kritischen Gesamtausgabe der Werke Arcangelo Corellis, the catalogue raisonné.

Sonata 1, 4, 5, 6 and 10 are attributed to Arcangelo Corelli. Sonata 2 is by Marco Uccellini. The authorship of the other four sonatas remains uncertain. In addition to this there is a stylistic inconsistency, so that the clause e ALTRI AUTORY appears quite valid – we do not want to consider the uncertain compositions as early works by Corelli. It should be noted that these uncertain compositions correspond less to the classical-balanced compositional style of Corelli than to that of the mid-seventeenth century.
