This transcription for flute of Geminiani's violin sonata in E major op. 1, no. 10 comes from Pietro Chaboud's two-volume collection published by Walsh & Hare in London around 1723. Pietro Chaboud was known in London from his concerts on the 'flûte d'almain' and as a bassoonist in the Queen's Theatre. He also composed flute and oboe music for the first Duke of Chandos. His transcription of Geminiani's sonata keeps closely to the original.
