Source is a ms of 18 separate parts Mus. 2199-N-4, Digitale Sammlungen, SLUB Dresden. Several authors classified this Sinfonia: GiaA 112, TalAl Mi 2, RosA II.D.2.1.1. Possibly, it is an arrangement for the Dresden Orchestra of a Sinfonia for oboes and strings by Albinoni. In fact, almost always flutes double violins and in the first movement fall below the usual instrument range.
