The composer added namely to the second edition of the work sufficient information concerning ornamentation and performance. (For the modern critical edition of Op. 2 see volume Z. 13901 of the Urtext Series of EMB. ) Hotteterre's Op. 5 published in the present edition is an organic continuation of Op. 2.
