Cello Sonatas, Op. 5 is a set of six sonatas for cello and basso continuo by Francesco Geminiani, published in 1740. Written in the late Baroque Italian style, the sonatas feature expressive melodic lines, ornate ornamentation and concertante interplay between solo cello and continuo, reflecting Geminiani's contribution to the cello repertoire during his mature London period.
