Summary of This Score
This collection brings together Six Sonatas for recorder (transverse flute) & harpsichord, edited by Paul Wåhlberg in the form of a facsimile accompanied by a new edition. These sonatas, composed for recorder and published in 1716 in Köthen, showcase an expressive Baroque style that is particularly rewarding to perform: singing melodic lines, natural articulations, and writing designed for the duo with harpsichord (basso continuo).
A major point of interest concerns the Sixth Sonata in G major, which may have been intended for the transverse flute, then rising in popularity. It stands out clearly from the other five sonatas by several compositional features, opening interpretative possibilities for both recorder and traverso (depending on the instrument available and the desired color).
The recent rediscovery of the complete source in Moscow makes this edition a true choice piece for flutists (recorder and Baroque transverse flute) and harpsichordists seeking rarely performed repertoire. Also noteworthy is the existence of a recording CD by Paul Wåhlberg (Euridice EUCD 63), useful for familiarizing oneself with the style, tempi, and ensemble balance.
