Sonata

When Henry Eccles (ca. 1675 - ca. 1742) published his “Premier Livre de sonatas à violon seul et la basse” in 1720, half of the sonata movements therein were actually by other composers. In the Sonata No. 11 in G minor, the second movement was by Francesco Antonio Bonporti, a contemporary of Eccles. And Eccles was not the only composer pilfering Bonporti’s music around this time - J.S. Bach also transcribed four movements for harpsichord from the same set of inventions used by Eccles. — David Daly
