Summary of This Score
This edition of "Six Sonatas for recorder (transverse flute) & harpsichord" highlights a set of sonatas attributed to a composer active in Zerbst (born in Wittenberg), composed for recorder and published in 1716 in Köthen. The musical interest is immediate: clear writing, carefully crafted dialogues between the melodic line and the continuo, and a German Baroque style that is both expressive and structured.
The work is distinguished by the editorial work of Paul Wahlberg, who offers both a facsimile (valuable for the study of sources, articulations, and period notation) and a new edition designed for performance. Performers will find particularly useful material here for addressing the issues of ornamentation, breathing, and balance with the harpsichord in a historically informed context.
A highlight lies in Sonata No. 6 in G major: it differs from the other five by several stylistic characteristics, suggesting a possible destination for the transverse flute, an instrument that was increasingly popular at the time. This uniqueness makes it an excellent entry point for varying colors, whether played on recorder or traverso (or transverse flute, depending on the chosen option).
The discovery of the only fully preserved copy in Moscow by Pavel Serbin gives this publication notable musicological and artistic value. To further the exploration, there is also a CD recording made by Paul Wahlberg (Euridice EUCD 63), useful as a reference for interpretation and sound aesthetics.
