C.P.E. Bach - Solo Sonata in A Minor #2- Paul Fried on Flute

[jazzflutist]

Nicely done. To me, this is a hard piece to play, to bring out the feeling, include the dynamics and expression without fluffing notes. Phrasing (breathing) is important too.

Wow... you're really amazing.... I was going through the music as I watched. I can just barely make the transitions between the high and low notes.... though my flute isn't exactly the best thing in the world. I'm not saying it's the flute's fault -though a new one wouldn't hurt- but I guess I'm still getting used to changing the pressure in my air so quickly. I guess I'm kind of asking for advice, though I don't exactly expect an answer. But anyway, that was very beautiful. Excellent job!

You have a beautiful tone. Your playing is beautiful.

Editors are like translators, they can change sometimes the intention of the author. C.P.E. Bach himself conceived this as the first movement. Sonata in a minor was printed for the first time in 1763. The order of movements is slow/fast/fast, a modern procedure at the composer's time opposed to the baroque "sonata da camara" (fast/slow/fast) from his father's generation.

This is actually the second. Doesn't it make sense to have the slow movement second? Well Bach thought so.

we all know that now, thank you

[fagottist]

this is the first not the second

[onln4jesus]

It depends on the edition you use.
