Hi guys, I really need this music sheet but I don't know where to find
it.
Could you please help me?
Thank you in advance.

Bonjour à tous, j' aimerais bien trouver cette sonate mais je ne la
trouve pas.
Es que vous pouvez m' aider s'il vous plait?
Merci d' avance.

P.S. I found only this MIDI version in the link at the end of this
page.

J' ai juste trouvé un fichier MIDI dans ce lien.

The piece is in the well-known series Hortus Musicus, along with other
sonatas by Abel. It should be available in any good library. The
listing in the University of Toronto Librrary catalogue reads as
follows:

Author Abel, Karl Friedrich, 1723-1787.

Added author Bacher, Joseph.

Added author Woehl, Waldemar, 1902-


TitleSechs Sonaten für Viola da gamba oder Geige (Querflöte) und Basso
continuo / Karl Friedrich Abel ; herausgegeben von Joseph Bacher ;
Generalbass-Aussetzung von W. Woehl.

Uniform titleSonatas, viola da gamba, continuo

Series titleHortus musicus ; 39-40


ImprintKassel : Bärenreiter-Verlag, c1949.

It is definitely the piece you are seeking since the MIDI file you
provide a link to matches. If you don't have access to such a library
let me know and perhaps I can scan it for you.

I believe this is ANOTHER e-minor Sonata, which begins with a
Siciliano movement.

With all due respect, I have the music in front of me, and the MIDI
file linked by the original poster playing, and they are the same
piece.

In that case, there would be no real reason for another edition of
this piece.
In fact, the other e-minor (Siciliano) work may have also already been
re-edited in Germany (Güntersberg), but I might be wrong. I'm in my
Madrid apartment and away from my library (Vienna).

All the best and do drop in on the collection some time..

Thank you, the original poster didn't say another edition was needed,
as I understood him, just that he couldn't find one.

I wish I were in a position, geographically, to drop in on the
collection or to take some of the courses you offer. Perhaps when I
retire. Thank you for the thought!
