for two Flutes without Bass-Though recovered as part of the long lost Sing-Akademie Berlin archives in 1999 these sonatas were first examined in 2002. Knowledge of their existence or at least their presumed existence is due to their partial use by Johann Joachim Quantz in his solfeggi for the Flute.The sonatas possibly composed sometime after 1730 are presented in a performing score format. As with Telemann’s other Flute music the Nine Sonatas are equally suited for performance and teaching. The expressive melodic qualities of these sonatas combined with their modest technical requirements will make these sonatas classics in both lessons and the concerthall.- First Edition.- Performing score with facsimiles.- A must-have edition from a master composer of Flute music.

Par COLQUHOUN MICHAEL. Salsa is a popular Hispanic-American urban dance music with deep African and Cuban roots. Charanga is a style of Salsa which was popular from the 1920's through the 1970's. What made Charanga unique was that along with the usual percussion section (congas, bongos/cowbell, timbales, maracas/guiro and clave) there was a string section and a flute lead. When the music was cocinando (or 'cooking”), the percussion, piano, bass and strings would play a powerfully swinging, polyrhythmic patter over which the Charanga flutist was free to improvise complex and intricate riffs. These days, while Salsa is popular as ever, the Charanga as a separate entity is rare. The flute, however,continues to be an important solo instrument. This piece is a cubist portrait of Charanga, and is dedicated to all the great Latin Charanga flutists./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière
