Summary of This Collection
The Schott Blockflöten-Bibliothek anthology brings together a varied compilation of the most beautiful Baroque sonatas for alto recorder, accompanied by basso continuo. Designed as a true toolbox for study and performance, this volume offers a rich journey through contrasting styles: German elegance, Italian character, English inspiration, with particular attention to singing, articulation, and dance sense.
The selection alternates moderately difficult pieces, perfect for consolidating tone, breathing, and rhythmic placement, with more virtuosic sonatas that demand greater agility, endurance, and ornament precision. This collection thus constitutes an excellent resource for building a concert repertoire, preparing auditions, or varying pedagogical content in recorder lessons.
The bass part is conceived for continuo realization (for example with cello), allowing work on balance, listening, and harmonic direction, essential elements of Baroque interpretation. Supported by a recognized editorial tradition, this volume highlights works that have become favorites within a series dedicated to "originalmusik" for recorder, appreciated for decades by players and teachers alike.
