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.}, doi = {10.4467/23537094KMMUJ.20.042.13915}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/kmmuj/artykul/bernardo-pasquinis-sonate-per-uno-o-due-cembali-con-il-basso-cifrato-simple-entertainment-or-an-elaborate-charade} }
