Full score and parts
Music example: Sonata 1 (pdf)
By his own choice, Nussen did not participate in public concert life, but there was nothing amateurish about his music, which unfailingly reveals excellent musical training, abundant inventiveness and a talent for combining new stylistic traits with old ones. His trio sonatas, published in 1754, are among the best of their kind to emerge in England half-way through the century.
