C major WarB B3b, as first edition edited by Sonia Wronkowska. The Maltzan Collection is a trove of manuscripts made up of 30 mostly unknown works for viola da gamba in the holdings of the library of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. 28 of the works are by Carl Friedrich Abel - including a number of autographs - and one each by Johann Christian Bach and Andreas Lidl. The sonata by Johann Christian Bach in the Maltzan Collection, for keyboard instrument and viola da gamba, fits in seamlessly with his four previously known sonatas of this kind (G226 and G227). Like them, it is a hitherto unknown viola da gamba version of a keyboard sonata with violin accompaniment. We assume that Abel arranged the violin parts for viola da gamba in order to perform these pieces with Bach.
