Abstract
This article determines the order of magnitude of integers not exceeding x that can be written as sums of two squares of integers that are themselves sums of two squares. The tools include Selberg’s sieve and contour integration in the spirit of the Selberg-Delange method.
Dedicated to Wolfgang Schwarz
