This
previously-unpublished
Concerto a Quadro
presumably started life
as a concerto for the
standard Baroque forces
of flute, strings and
continuo, now otherwise
unknown; it is preserved
in its surviving form for
flute, violin, viola and
cello in a set of
manuscript parts
apparently copied by an
amateur musician in
Sweden. Although unlikely
to be the work of Handel,
as a rare early example
of music for flute
quartet it is an
attractive extension to a
repertoire otherwise
dominated by the works of
Mozart and his
contemporaries. In the
present publication,
editorial figuring in the
cello part allows for the
possibility of expanding
the texture with
additional continuo
instruments.
