Albinoni's C major Sonata had been preserved unpublished in the Austrian National Library until 1968. Albinoni’s "C major Sonata" had been preserved unpublished in the Austrian National Library until 1968. Written in the style of the four-movement "sonata da chiesa", the work allows the soloist to display the full range of his talent in the fast movements. The second movement recalls Charpentier’s well-known "Triumphal March". The trumpet is silent in the two slow move-ments, which was customary for Italian trumpet sonatas in the 17th century.

The present edition is based on the original nineteenth-century edition which has required very little correction.
