This work is published as a sonata for two cellos and bc. However, Chrisander's edition of Op.2 stops at no 6.
Was it originally for 2 cellos and bc?

From http://www.gfhandel.org/301to400.htm#HWV386b

HWV 393: Trio Sonata in G minor

Composed: Probably circa 1719
Borrowings: A sequential passage in the opening movement of the G minor appears to be echoed in Handel's Organ Concerto in G minor, Op 7 No 5 (HWV 310), written in 1750, but other thematic relationships are hard to find.
Notes:
In Chrysander's "G. F. Handel's Werke," this piece referred to as Op 2 No 8.
Authenticity uncertain.
HG edition: 27
HHA edition: IV/10/1
