Of particular interest is this beautiful trio that has been come down to us in two different tonalities, E flat major and E major. The E major version, for two flutes and continuo, is found in a single source preserved at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen. The transposition from the original key of E flat major, undertaken by the composer himself, places the work in a brighter tonality, albeit one that presents more of a challenge to players of the baroque flute.
