Johann Joachim Quantz

5 Sonate per flauto traverso e basso continuo

Of the nearly 200 flute sonatas composed by Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773) this volume contains five, edited by the outstanding Baroque flautist Benedek Csalog, who had already recorded them based on the extant manuscripts. Composed in an Italianate style, these inventive pieces appear here in print for the first time. This edition gives two versions of the accompaniment: as a separate figured bass part, and as a realization, made by Rita Papp. The preface preceding the score contains useful information about the editorial principles underlying the publication, and practical tips for an authentic performance of the music.
