The Partita (BWV 1013) by J. S. Bach was originally written for the traverse flute. Here it's played by Jan Van Hoecke on an alto recorder (A415Hz). To play all the notes like in the original version, it was necessary to play it a third higher (so, a-minor became c-minor).

Wow respect this is awesome. Actually I thought I could play it at my next concet in november but after listening to that I'm not quite sure...

What to say....I am studying this corrente on the recorder right now and I was pretty satisfied with my result until I watched to this video...I just hope one day to play it as fast and perfect as you do although I believe I will never succeeed in. Great, great, great job.

You are an excellent player but I think this piece should be played slower. Corrente is a baroque dance from the 1700s - 1800s. I do not think anybody can dance this fast :)

you are one of the few people who have the guts to post this movement, and it seems to be a live performance.
I wish I could see and hear you better though as your playing is simply amazing.
Do you have a recording of this on CD?
