Six Flute Sonatas for Flute and Basso Continuo, Op. 7

From the Publisher

These sonatas by English Baroque composer and flautist Lewis Granom are notable not only for their melodic writing, which shows great independence of thought, but also for their technical advances — Granom pushed the boundaries of flute technique further than ever before. The freedom and brilliance evident in the virtuoso, highly ornamented solo part is unique in English flute sonatas of the period; and the range of notes required is exceptional — for the first time, flute players in England were required to venture up to g'''.
