“Beautifully presented by a Baroque authority”

Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - [email protected]

Without doubt this is the definitive edition of these Quantz sonatas. Rachel Brown is a leading authority on works of this period and these beautifully presented volumes are bursting with her enthusiasm and scholarship. Each one contains 2 copies of the score for flute and cello, a keyboard part and a reproduction of the facsimile. There is also a wealth of information in her performance notes, covering use of accidentals, rhythm, tempo, ornamentation, articulation and cadenzas. Everything here is just as it should be and every flute player should have a copy!

From the Publisher

These exhilarating works were composed for Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, and have remained in his private collection, largely unknown, since the eighteenth century.  Now published for the first time, these choicest pieces may, at last, assume their rightful position in the core flute repertoire.

This Urtext edition presents:

  • flute and bass parts together
  • performance notes by Rachel Brown
  • keyboard realization of the figured bass by Terence Charlston
  • facsimile reproduction of original manuscripts
Difficulty guide: 5-8
Difficulty level, roughly compared to ABRSM exam grades. 0 is total beginner, 9 is advanced (beyond grade 8).
