Sonata for 2 Flutes in E minor (Loeillet, Jean Baptiste) ⟨User:Coulonnus [#25824]

So how does a Cello makeshift part fit into a 2 Flutes and Piano Arrangement, when the original engraving WAS JUST for 2 Flutes and Piano?

Simply because my friends and I use a harpsichord (digital keyboard put in harpsichord tone) instead of a piano. I would be happy to find the original edition of this sonata. Of course this edition is heavily edited for pianists.

Keep in mind that while creating this from an existing engraving might be a way to save time on creating a file, you need to keep the interests of how IMSLP works. Your arrangement you already uploaded was for 2 flutes and piano but was not written with a Cello involved by what the arranger wanted to do here. This is a baroque work which having a cello to assist the bass line was common in the baroque period but this is a early 20th century arrangement, which I am sure at the time when it was written didn't have a cello for the performance and was written pretty specifically for the piano as the accompaniment. We would prefer instead either a typeset or manuscript or an historical engraving of the original edition if you wanted a Cello in there as a single line like the original.
