Quantz - Flute Sonatas, Vol. 1

Quantz Flute Sonatas - Vol. 1

edited by Rachel Brown

These exhilarating works were composed for Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, and have remained in his private collection, largely unkown, 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:

Two flute and figured bass scores - essential for ornamentation

• Performance notes by Rachel Brown
• Realisation of the figured bass by Terence Charlston
• Facsimile reproductions of original manuscripts
