Sie stellen eine wertvolle Bereicherung des Solorepertoires an der Wende vom Spatbarock zur Fruhklassik dar.Zani published only six sets of compositions (opp. 1-6), all between 1727 (Casalmaggiore) and ca. 1743 (Paris). All were of instrumentental music and with a solo violin prominent in most. This is not surprising as Zani was trained as a violinist and had a reputation as a virtuoso. The sonatas op. 6 brigde the change from late baroque style to pre-classic style. For this reason alone they are an important contribution to the solo violin repertiore. All sonatas are in four movements and each has a slow-fast-slow-fast - sequence of movements. (Pritchard, Ward).
