That is the bass part - the continuo. Violins don't play there.

Gutten Tag: I am working on a performing edition of Telemann's "famous" A minor suite for Flute/Recorder (TWV 55:a2). I'm working on the next to last movement(s): Passepied 1 & 2. The 2nd Passepied modulates to A major, and I'm not sure what's going on with the 1st and 2nd violin. I have uploaded a screenshot that you can view here: http://www.bytenet.net/kpclow/finale/passepied2.jpg. The staves are from top to bottom: Flute/Recorder (using the French violin clef), 1st Violin, 2nd Violin, Viola and Basso continuo. What has me scratching my head, why are the violin parts notated with a bass clef? That's beyond the range of a violin, no? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I don't have a modern edition of the score (I rather not look at one to prevent it from clouding how I approach my edition).
