Hotteterre, J.B. de Boismortier, G. Ph. Telemann, J.S. Bach, C. Ph. E. Bach etc.), there were also dozen of small pieces for solo flute. Hotteterre's \u003cem\u003eEchos\u003c\/em\u003e (1708) and Couperin's \u003cem\u003eLe Rossignol en amour\u003c\/em\u003e (1713) are prime examples. From around the middle of the century, Jean Daniel Braun (1740), Michel Blavet (ca. 1752), Evrard Taillart (1755 and 1757), Antoine Mahaut (1757), Filippo Ruge, and Wenceslao Zimmermann followed with collections of solo pieces for flute or collections with 'petits airs, brunettes, menuets, etc' for two flutes or flute and basso continuo, in which solo pieces were sometimes hidden away. Works with titles such as \u003cem\u003eCaprice\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFantaisie\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eCourante\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBohemienne\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eGigue Saxonne\u003c\/em\u003e may be technically challenging but are wonderful music. In Quantz's 'Caprices', solos can be found that also appear in Braun and Taillart's collections. Composers' names are absent from all the collections. In his \u003cem\u003eSolfeggi\u003c\/em\u003e, Quantz added the name of Johann Martin Blockwitz to a passage that appears in an 'Allemande' (No. 1 in the present collection). That the other pieces in Quantz's \u003cem\u003eCaprices\u003c\/em\u003e are also the work of Blockwitz (or Braun), as Horst Augsbach suggested, is however speculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Quantz wrote in his autobiography, there was hardly any literature for flute in existence around 1719. As a result, music for oboe or violin had to be arranged for flute. As late as 1735, Michel Corrette included instructions for adapting violin music for flute in his \u003cem\u003eMethode\u003c\/em\u003e. Many of the pieces in the present collection are undoubtedly inspired by works for strings, but a lute piece by Silvius Leopold Weiss may, as discovered by Barthold Kuijken, also have served as a source. Broken chords, harmonic games, large leaps, attempts to suggest multiple voices and the imitation of Italian virtuosity characterize almost all of the works presented here. Particularly for the French flute literature that was long dominated by melancholic airs tendres, this new style inspired by Michel Blavet, was a revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllemanda — Blockwitz, J.M.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapriccio — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBizzarria\/Courante — Weiss, S.L.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvenzione — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRondeau — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinuetto — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLamentevole — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiga — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllemanda — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinuetto 1 - Minuetto 2 - Double — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRondeau — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFantasia — Blockwitz, J.M.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRondeau — Blavet, M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBizzarria — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiga — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir — Braun, J.D.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGigue — Mahaut, A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlla Francese — Quantz, J.J.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiga — Anonymous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFantasia — Quantz, J.J.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiga — Anonymous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllegro — Anonymous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinuetto [L’Inconnu] — Anonymous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir — Granom, L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJigg — Granom, L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapriccio — Ruge, F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGigue Saxonne — Anonymous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1er Menuet - 2e Menuet — Taillart, P.E.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBohémienne — Taillart, P.E.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaprice — Taillant, P.E.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1er Menuet - 2e Menuet — Mahaut, A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMenuet — Mahaut, A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapriccio — Zimmermann, W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapriccio — Zimmermann, W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Universal Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46969376440614,"sku":"9790008089923","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790008089923.jpg?v=1697523965","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/various-34-pieces-pour-flute-seule-flute-solos-from-the-18th-century","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
