The latest addition to our catalogue is a four-movement sonata by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel. The original manuscript gives oboes or violins as possible melody instruments. The final movement is a lively Allegro, with the upper voices in strict canon. Find the details (and the first page of the score) here
