Perhaps
Bach actually did allow
himself to be swept away
by Telemann's enthusiasm
for the Flute
traversiere, the Baroque
transverse flute, for
which he wrote a whole
series of pieces,
including the Trio Sonata
in G major BWV 1039. With
the Urtext edition of the
sonata, which presumably
is the arrangement of a
lost first version for
two violins and basso
continuo, Breitkopf adds
the finishing touches to
the series of Bach's
Complete Flute Works
edited by the renowned
flutist Barthold Kuijken.
In the publication's
textual segments, Kuijken
takes a comprehensive
look at the various
sources and versions.
Also very useful for
performance practice are
the unique
characteristics found
among musicians who are
particularly
knowledgeable in early
music.The continuo has
been realized by Ewald
Demeyere, taking
contemporary treatises
into account.A clear,
informative and utterly
practical edition of this
much loved and important
trio sonata. The musical
typeface here is
extremely clear and of a
sensible size. Slurs,
additional ornaments and
annotations are precise
and non-invasive, page
turns are practical and
the separate bass also
includes figures.(Lisa
