12 of Antonio Bononcini's cello sonatas form a dazzling set that was probably composed at Bologna ca. 1693, which would make them among the earliest known cello sonatas. The remaining three sonatas in this edition are later works. The last, with an attribution only to "Bononcini," may be by Antonio's older brother, Giovanni. A facsimile of Giovanni's only known cello sonata, published in 1748, is included as an appendix.
