Although it was entirely washed out by water from fire-hoses during the bombardment of Dresden in 1945, Neeman could read a note written on the manuscript: "This is the first I studied with Mr Weiss". While it is indeed a suitable work for a relative beginner, with quite short movements and few technical challenges, it is a fine work, well repaying any modern player's study... the sonata concludes with a fiery Gigue in which the sonority of the lute is particularly well-exploited without running any risks by way of undue technical difficulties.." - Tim Crawford The tempo of the Felipe Catalan video is 120 bpm (dotted quarter notes).
