J.B. de Boismortier - Concert in c min. for 4 flutes & b.c.

[guggemuus]

I just love it, and I have a long way to go myself to reach a nearby standard... being a granny:)

Is it really for recorders (as then called flutes) or written for flauto traverso originally?

[patrickrecorder]

In the Baroque period, the designation "for flute" by itself meant alto recorder (what you see here). The sideways flute was always called flauto traverso (Italian), flute traversiere (French), or German flute (English).

Recorder can also be called flauto dolce, flute douce, flauto doce, flute a bec, blokfluit, blockflote. (Sorry, my "accents" are missing!)

Well, nice to see that the flutes have changed the way they look.

[Polluxgeminae]

@mskherynn They're recorders not flutes.

[mskherynn]

@Polluxgeminae That's what I mean...it says Concerto for 4 flutes, but obviously they are not. A beautiful piece though, and the recorders offer such a different tone to the piece.
