Butler and William Young, an English viol player working at the Austrian court in Innsbruck, were the first English composers to call their works sonatas. Young published 11 sonatas in 1653, whereas all of Butler's works have survived only in undated manuscripts. His three sonatas were for violin, bass viol and continuo.
