Misc. Notes:

Violin part missing.
Although it ends with the words Volti Presto (turn over quickly, or to the Presto), the keyboard part seems to be complete (according to Gérard, the Sonata G.30 consists only of 2 movements and ends with the rondo).
The edition contains an interesting preface explaining the aims of the arranger.

Misc. Comments

There may be some doubt if Diettenhofer's arrangement ever included a violin part. Gérard gives no precise information about this, and in the preface of the edition itself only the Piano or Harpsichord part is mentioned.
