Summary of This Score
This edition presents a sonata in E minor conceived for recorder and harpsichord obbligato, established from two complementary sources: the autograph and a manuscript copy. This editorial choice aims to offer a reliable musical text, useful both for study and performance, taking into account variants and the stylistic coherence expected from a reference edition.
To allow a natural performance on the alto recorder, the work is transposed up by a minor third. This adaptation respects the spirit of the piece while placing the solo part in a comfortable tessitura, favoring intonation, projection, and the phrasing flexibility characteristic of the instrument. The transposition also facilitates fingering and transitions, without sacrificing color or harmonic logic.
The presence of a harpsichord obbligato gives the keyboard part a structuring role beyond mere accompaniment: the discourse is built through exchange, with particular attention to the balance of sound layers, articulation, and shared breathing. This score is thus intended for duos wishing to work on true chamber music, whether for pedagogical purposes, concert preparation, or repertoire deepening.
