- 31 harpsichord sonatas, being a compilation of several single sonatas, several pairs, and a collection of 9 sonatas. Editorial title, ascription from p. 1. In the hand of R. Fitzwilliam and two or three copyists. Fitzwilliam most probably copied the sonatas in Madrid in 1772.

All were published, except those marked "Printed", in "Thirty sonatas, for the harpsichord or piano-forte, publish'd (by permission) from manuscripts in the possession of Lord Viscount Fitzwilliam composed by Sigr. Domenico Scarlatti" (London: Rt. Birchall, [1800]) Former classmark: 32 F 12. With thematic index in the hand of R.
