These two sonatas are intended for viols and/or instruments of the violin family, but they can also be played on wind instruments. The middle parts are notated in both, alto and (octavated) violin clef. The score also contains the continuo part including figures so that the quartet of viols can also be accompanied by a chordal instrument. Thieme's instrumental sonatas alternate between lively homophony and fugue-like episodes over a decided bass.
