I am looking for scores designated specifically for the viola pomposa, preferably solo. As people here will know, Bach''s 6th suite was written for violoncello piccolo, which at times has been confused with the VP. But there were scores written for the VP proper in various ensembles (Telemann, Graun, etc.) I know (or at least think I know) of two solo works: one by Lidarti and one by Janitsch. Can anyone provide either of these, or other solo scores unknown to me? Thanks.

Here is the Lidarti for Pomposa.

Thanks very much (I would have thanked you yesterday, but for some reason I couldn't log on). I had no idea this edition existed; it's a strange one (the typo 'Guiseppe' for 'Giuseppe' in the heading suggests that it wasn't very carefully proofed, for example, and the idea of sticking a cadenza into a solo piece like this is so typically 19th century....). I look forward to hearing the piece. Thanks again
