Flute (violin) and basso continuo - intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q4751 Composed by Johann Mattheson. This edition: Sheet music. Flute - concerto - Instruction. Il Flauto traverso. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q4751. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q4751). Key: A major.Johann Mattheson (1681-1764) became known especially as a theoretician with works such as 'Der vollkommene Capellmeister' or his basso continuo method. However, Mattheson was not just a knowledgeable theoretician but also a practitioner of the musical art from childhood. He knew Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Philipp Telemann and Georg Friedrich Handel in person or was even bound to them by ties of friendship. He wrote operas, church and chamber music as well as sonatas for keyboard or melodic instruments. This sonata shows the typical form of the 'sonata da chiesa'. After the initial cantabile adagio, the following allegro gives room for a lively performance. The brief grave section is an expressive counterpoint before an enthusiastic giga allows a sparkling display of virtuoso skills. A rewarding piece for lessons and concerts.

Flute and basso continuo - intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q15874 Composed by Giovanni Benedetto Platti. This edition: Sheet music. Il Flauto traverso. Downloadable. Op. 3/3. Schott Music - Digital #Q15874. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q15874). Key: E minor.Giovanni Benedetto Platti was probably born in Venice about 1700; he came to Würzburg in 1722 in the company of a group of Italian musicians. He was resident in Würzburg as a member of the prince-bishop's court chapel until his death in 1763. As a versatile musician - as the period demanded - Platti wrote sacred compositions and chamber music works, mainly for harpsichord and violoncello. The series of six flute sonatas provide an exception to the norm - a fact which can also be deduced from the dedication of the pieces. It is addressed to a gentlemen in Cologne - a Signor Pietro Filippo di Krufft ... della Collegiata di Santo Cuniberto in Colonia. The original title of the complete opus, the third sonata of which is published in a new edition in this volume, is: Sei Sonate/a Flauto Traversiere Solo con Violoncello overo Cembalo/ ... /Composte dà/Giovanni Platti .../.../Opera Terza/Alle Spese di Giovanni Ulrico Haffner .../Nro. VI. The date of the publication must be 1742. Haffner began printing in this year, and Platti's Op. 1-4 are among the first works published by him. This new edition is based entirely on a copy in the Bavarian State Library, Munich. As always, it is only one of many possibilities.
