Product Details

Product Description

The first of six  sonatas for four equal players published avec Privilege du Roi in Paris in 1731. They were published as a set of parts for three transverse flutes or violins or other instruments avec la Basse. There are four movements, all in G minor, Adagio, Presto, Adagio & Allegro.  The only dynamic marking is the Piano marked at the end of the last movement. The ornaments  - trills, mordants & grace notes - are all carefully included and further decoration of the parts was not expected in French music of this period unlike in Italian music. However, more experienced players should feel free to add a little more decoration at the final cadences of the slow movements. None of the movements have repeated sections and it is clear from the flow of the music that this is not an omission. Missing slurs have been added (dashed lines) along with a few phrasing suggestions. 

The arrangement includes a clarinet which would not have been  available until over 30 years after publication but this arrangement is most likely to be played on modern instruments so it gives a modern woodwind quartet the opportunity to play music of this period in the appropriate style. Players of intermediate ability will enjoy this piece.
