Sonata 5 has a striking second slow movement. This is one of the rare slow movements to bring the opening idea back near the end and (a few bars later) to allow the cello to detach itself, if only fleetingly, from the harpsichord.

Un remarquable deuxième mouvement lent se trouve dans la Sonate 5. C’est l’un des rares mouvements lents à reprendre l’idée initiale près de la fin et (quelques mesures plus loin) à permettre au violoncelle de se détacher du clavecin, même si ce n’est que pour quelques instants.

Die Sonate 5 hat einen bemerkenswerten zweiten langsamen Satz. Es ist dies einer der wenigen langsamen Sätze, die gegen Ende noch einmal die einleitende Idee aufgreifen und es (wenige Takte später) dem Cello gestatten, sich wenn auch nur kurz vom Cembalo zu lösen.
