Bayreuth, W :: Sonata in a-minor
Wilhelmine von Bayreuth's Sonata for Flauto traverso and Basso continuo in a minor, which was only recently discovered and is printed here for the first time, is the second autograph manuscript of Wilhelmine von Bayreuth known at present. The Sonata was originally written for the then common transverse flute, but it can also be played today with the modern Boehm concert flute. The instrumentation of the bass part is not specified: for harpsichord alone, or harpsichord with violoncello to intensify the bass. The presto of the sonata shows, especially, that Wilhelmine preferred 'wild thundering flute playing' over an affected performance.
For the early intermediate player.
