Description:
This digital sheet music edition contains the Sonata in A minor, Wq.132, H 562 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. This important composition for solo flute without basso continuo or accompanying instruments was written around 1747 in Berlin, when Bach was chamber harpsichordist to Frederick the Great. The sonata is in three movements: 1st Poco Adagio, 2nd Allegro, and 3rd Allegro, and follows the slow-fast-fast format. Along with Telemann's Fantasias and J.S. Bach's Partita in A minor, the Sonata is considered one of the most important works for solo flute before the 20th century. It is the only flute work by Bach that was printed and published during his lifetime. This carefully edited edition offers clear and precise notation, ideal for musicians who want to immerse themselves in the depth and expressiveness of Bach's work. Perfect for study, rehearsal, and performance.
