In 2^o; oblong format; autograph title page with shelf mark added in pencil in foreign hand (fol. 1r), Partie 1 (fols. 1v–5r), Partie 2 (fols. 5v–7v), Partie 3 (fols. 8r–11r), Partie 4 (fols. 11v–13r), Partie 5 (fols. 13v–16r), Partie 6 (fols. 16v–18v); in all 18 folios. On front cover the shelf mark has been added in pencil and 'Not. 7.' added in ink at top right-hand corner, title in foreign hand, each folio numbered in pencil. Hand-ruled paper, 8 staves (9 mm; single rastrum used) in light brown ink on fols. 1v, 16v–18v and music in dark brown ink (except fol. 18v where the music is in light brown ink), the remaining in dark brown ink and music in same ink. At the end of each movement the number of bars has been added in ink. A clean copy with very few changes; markings such as 'x' and the total number of bars of each movement suggest that the source at some stage might have been used as printers' copy or for the production of transcripts.

Watermark: a crowned coat-of-arms with crossed swords (<http://www.wasserzeichen-online.de> ID no. 137.724) and dated to 1727; paper of an inferior quality.

Written in ink (Johann Adolph Scheibe).

Condition: unbound but restored so nesting is not possible to determine; remains of original folder pasted onto a piece of paper.
