Full title: Sei Sonate per il Cembalo dedicate All'altezza Serenissima Di Ernestina Avgvsta Sophia, Principessa di Sachsen Weimar etc: etc / Six Sonatas for Keyboard dedicated to the Serene Highness of Ernestine Avgvste Sophie, Princess of Sachsen Weimar etc: etc.From hildegard.com: Anna Bon, born ca. 1740. Very little is known about the life of the composer who describes herself as "Anna Bon of Venice, chamber music virtuosa." She was married to the singer Mongeri and was a harpsichordist in the service of Frederick, the Margrave of Brandenburg Culmbach. Three sets of her sonatas, one set for keyboard, one for flute and continuo and one for two flutes and continuo, were published in Nuremburg between 1756 and 1759.From www.wtju.net/anna-bon-di-venezia-harpsichord-sonatas-a-welcome-rediscovery/
Anna Bon di Venezia is a somewhat mysterious figure — very little is known about her, save that she, along with her parents (a stage manager and an opera singer) were hired by Count Esterhazy, where (presumably) they worked under his Kappellmeister, Franz Joseph Haydn.
Anna Bon published a set of flute sonatas, a set of keyboard sonatas, a set of trio sonatas before marrying and apparently retired from music.
The harpsichord sonatas, published in 1757, are fascinating. To my ears, they sound similar in style to the ones Haydn wrote around the same time. These are short, straight-forward works that are charming in their simplicity...Playlist of the complete 6 sonatas: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mZJErLSoisRe9trY1y5Z3ChdBI5GRfIqg (Barbara Harbach, harpsichord)
