Pietro Giuseppe Gaetano Boni was wrote this cello sonata for Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, patron of Caldara and Corelli among others. In the frontispice to op.1, Sonate per camera a violoncello e cembalo, he is described as "Bolognese ed Accademico Filarmonico". Thus he had the most direct contact with the tradition of the violoncello da spalla, regardless how he played the instrument himself. He moved to Rome in 1711.
