Sonata in a minor Wq 132 for Flute Solo-There are many unanswered questions surrounding Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Flute Sonata A Minor Wq. 132. For whom was this solo work written? The addressee of the sonata is frequently thoughtto be King Friedrich II of Prussia yet Bach would not have made music that was exclusively intended for the king available for all. The intrigue is heightened by the fact that this sonata for Flute solo was published twice in the1760s.The riddle is not to be solved. Today this three-movement work is one of the solo pieces that all flautists have to have played once it is truly regal music. This Henle Urtext edition features informedcomments on performance practice by the flautist Karl Kaiser.

Sonate Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach en la mineur pour flûte solo quasi constitue une contrepartie de la partita de son père Johann Sebastian dans la même tonalité. Créé en 1747, mais non publié jusqu'en 1763, il annonce le style sentimentale d'une nouvelle ère, par rapport à l'env. 30 ans de plus de travail de son père. L'édition est basé sur la première édition qui est caché parmi les oeuvres pour piano de C. Ph. E. Bach et d'autres compositeurs de l'anthologie 'Musikalisches Mancherley'. Une édition séparée, également publié en 1763, s'est avéré être un rejeton de la première édition avec le texte musical identiques et pourraient être éliminés en tant que source pour l'édition. Mais l'édition a également été basée sur une fin du 18e siècle exemplaire de la Collection Giedde à Copenhague qui est d'une grande importance à la littérature flûte. Bien qu'il semble également revenir à la première édition, il s'avère néanmoins avéré être un correctif contemporain à des carences de la première édition, dans certains passages. Les notes relatives aux performances pratiques de l'Kuijken élève Susanne Schrage non seulement se rapprocher du texte musical au moyen de la méthode de flûte de Bach de Berlin collègue du compositeur Johann Quantz Joachim, mais aussi d'analyser les chapitres pertinents du 'Versuch über die Art wahre, das zu Clavier spielen 'par C. Ph. E. Bach lui-même, offrant ainsi des aides d'interprétation droite du point de vue du compositeur. / Flûte

Although these two sonatas composed by the young Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach clearly reflect the influence of his famous father they also herald the unconventional and strikingly expressive preclassical composer. Besides ?character? variations Bach also wrote variations with large intervallic leaps in his minuets thus offering flutists a chance to enjoy a delightfully iridescent play of tone colours.Sonate G-DurSonate e-Moll

Written in 1747 while C P E Bach was in Berlin probably for his then employer Frederick the Great or for Frederick's teacher J J Quantz this work was not printed until 1763. Like his father J S Bach C P E Bach chose the key of A minor for his only compositon for solo Flute but it's structure is quite different to that of Bach senior. Like J. S. Bach's Partita in A minor (BWV 1013) the sonata edited here is considered one of the most important works for solo Flute of the eighteenth century. In contrast to J. S. Bach's composition which still represents the traditional polyphonic and figurative style the work of the youngBach displays great sensitivity and occasionally an almost romantic expressiveness. This new edition of C. P. E. Bach's Sonata in A minor is based on a copy in the anthology 'Musikalisches Mancherley'; the editor owes his thanks to the Zurrich Central Library.
