Despite her flamboyant name, Anna Bon di Venezia is recorded as having been baptized on 11th August 1738, in her parents' native Bologna. The appellation 'di Venezia' may derive from her study of music, from the age of 5, at the Ospedale della Pieta in Venice (where Vivaldi had taught until 1740). Her father was an operatic set designer and librettist and her mother, an opera singer. Both parents seem to have worked at the court of Frederick the Great at Potsdam in Prussia; and Anna's first job, at the age of 16, was as a musician at the court of Frederick, Viscount of Brandenburg-Bayreuth whose wife was Frederick the Great's sister. Although published in 1756, The six Op.1 Flute Sonatas were written two years earlier when Anna was 16. They were followed by a set of harpsichord sonatas in 1757 and six divertimenti for two flutes and continuo in 1759, but apart from some church music for voices and strings, anything else that Anna may have written has not survived. In 1762 the Bon family moved to the Esterhazy court at Eisenstadt in Austria where Anna probably stayed until 1767 when she married a tenor called Mongeri and presumably joined him at the Hildburghausen court in Thuringia. There is no record of Anna Bon after that date.

With much of her childhood spent at princely German courts and her exposure to the music of Quantz and CPE Bach, it is not surprising that Anna Bon's Op.1 Flute Sonatas should owe more to German than Italian music in format and style. Each of the three sonatas presented here is in three movements: a slow introduction, followed by a fast middle movement, and a fast finale. Her style of composition is described as transitional from late Baroque to early Classical.
