Flute Sonata in G Major Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach
Allegretto; Rondo - Presto
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, second son of Johann Sebastian wrote his Sonata in G Major in Hamburg, 1786, two years before his death. Bach had been employed since 1740 by the court orchestra of Frederick the Great, himself a flutist. It is doubtful, however, that the ruler ever played this or any of C.P.E. Bach's seven flute sonatas, as he preferred those of his own flute teacher, composer Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773). The source for the Hamburger Sonata is a manuscript copy in the Brussels Conservatoire Royal de Musique. Martha Councell
