This
edition of the 28
variations on the aria
Ich schlief, da traumte
mir for flute and bassa
continuo by Johann
Joachim Quantz, published
here for the first time,
is based on a manuscript
in the Preussischen
Staatsbibliothek in
Berlin, whose title
reads: Solo Traverso cole
Basso Achtundzwantzig
Variation es uber die
Arie Ich schlief da
traumte mir del Sigr:
Qvanz The high degree
which the art of flute
playing had reached at
that time is very clearly
displayed in this set of
variations, a form
unusual in Quantz's
output. For this reason,
this work is very
suitable as a study as
weil as for performance.
The realization of the
figured bass and the
indications of phrasing
merely represent one of
many possibilities, and
are only intended as
suggestions. The source
is in places full of
errors, and these have
been tacitly corrected.
Frank Nagel, Basel, June
1974.
