In the dedication, Neefe makes clear that he wanted these sonatas to be played only on the Klavier (by which he evidently means the clavichord),
- "... denn die meisten werden auf dem Flügel [hier meint er Cembalo], oder Pianoforte wenig Wirkung thun, weil keines von beyden des Kantabeln und der verschiedenen Modifikation des Tons so fähig ist, als das Klavier..."
- "... whereas most of them would give little effect when played on the harpsichord or pianoforte, as neither instrument is as capable of cantabile and the different modifications of tone, as the clavichord..."
