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 of these works. They are worthy to be a part of the widely known performance of these works.

Bernardo Pasquini (1637–1710) was one of the very first composers to write partimenti, albeit he did not use the word “partimento”. He titled his works for one or two keyboards, written in the form of basso continuo, as Basso, Basso continuo, Sonata, Versetto etc. One of his manuscripts that include partimenti, entitled Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato, is held in the British Library of London, under the signature number Ms. Add. 31501, I. Two works from this collection, Basso Continuo [II] and [Basso IV], are realised by the Author as fully composed pieces and presented below. The realisation of these Partimenti intends to engage a polyphonic texture according to the rules of basso continuo and counterpoint adequate to the aesthetics and techniques of the music from the Baroque era. Realisations represent different genres of instrumental music of the 18th century, they apply counterpoint (fugue, fughetta and imitation texture) or freer techniques (figurative sonata, polyphonic fantasia).

The fourteen sonatas for two harpsichords from the collection Sonate per uno o due Cembali con il basso cifrato by Bernardo Pasquini (British Library of London, shelf mark: Ms. Add. 31501, I) are unique examples of double partimento. Few performers have taken up these works so far; they deserve much more attention. Employing contrapuntal techniques in their execution offers very interesting possibilities. The author describes and presents her own polyphonic interpretations of selected pieces from this collection: Sonata II mm. I, II, III; Sonata V m. II; Sonata VII a due m. I; Sonata X a 2 m. II; Sonata XIII a 2 mm. I and II. This material may serve as encouragement for further studies and performance of these works. They are worthy of becoming part of staple concert repertoires.
