In May 2010 musicologist Judith Ortega defended her doctoral thesis "Music in the Court of Carlos III and Carlos IV (1759-1808): From the Royal Chapel to the Royal Chamber", which included an exhaustive investigation into the context composition of the sonatas to only the Royal Chapel. A year later, in 2011, Judith Ortega and Joseba Berrocal carried out a critical edition of 36 Sonatas only in the Royal Chapel, published by the ICCMU in its collection Música Hispana, more than two hundred years after its registration was recorded in the coffers of the palace.

Thanks to the rescue of Ortega and Berrocal, and five years after that first edition, the violinist Ashan Pillai and the harpsichordist Tony Millán have decided to offer a practical edition that will broaden the dissemination of this repertoire and allow the interpreters -both of ancient music as well as those of classical and contemporary music- to work these works and execute them in auditoriums or concert halls.

Ashan Pillai and Tony Millán have reviewed these eleven sonatas. Ashan Pillai has recorded them together with the pianist Juan Carlos Cornelles on a CD edited by Nîbius in co-production with Solé Recordings (2016). Tony Millán has also written a performance for the bass, which is the one we publish here.

The sonata for opposition of Gaetano Brunetti, written in 1789, is the only sonata for viola conserved composed by Gaetano Brunetti, although the copy of the General Archive of the Palace is a copy of the copyist of the Chapel. It is written in key of D major and divided in three movements: Allegro moderato, Larguetto sostenuto and Rondeau allegretto. Unlike other works of his production, the sonata for opposition is written in a style, somehow, decorous. He does not abuse great artifices in his sonata and prints the imprint of lyricism accustomed in the environment of chamber music of the Court. Let us not forget that Brunetti was the main composer of the environment closest to the monarch when he wrote his sonata.
