Note:

Sonata III had been published by Neil Stewart in Edinburgh in 1761 under Sammartini's name, but Bathia Churgin and Newell Jenkins ("Sammartini, Giovanni Battista," The New Grove, v. 16, p. 456) consider it to be of doubtful authenticity . Churgin (Sammartini/Sonate, p.8) does not include it among the composer's authentic trio sonatas. A later Walsh issue of this set (no.174) attributes all six sonatas to Lampugnani.
