Flute Sonata BWV 1032

Johann Sebastian Bach has left us three flute sonatas with obligato keyboard parts.There are also two or three flute sonatas with continuo accompaniments; theauthenticity of one of these is contested.

The manuscript of the Sonata in A is titledSonata a 1 Traversa è Cembaloobligato di J. S. Bach in Bach’s handwriting. Itwas discovered by von Winterfeldin an antique shop in Breslau and presented to thePreuß. Staatsbibliotekin Berlin;during the second world war it was moved to the monastery of Grüssau in centralSilesia. Atthe end of the war, it was removed by the Polish government to theJagiellon University in Cracow, and in 1977 was presented to theDeutscheStaatsbibliotekin Berlin. The manuscript is written on nineteen staves, and apartfrom this sonata it also contains a concerto for two keyboards and string orchestra.The concerto occupies the top sixteen staves on each page, and, with typicaleconomy, the Sonata fills up the lowest three staves. Eightof the manuscript pagesare intact, but unfortunately, on six of the pages the lowest part has been cut away,so that we lack some forty-five bars at the end of the first movement.

Completions of the first movement have been published by Gustav Schreck(Peters), Georges Barrère (Boston), Alfred Dürr (Bärenreiter), William Bennett(Chester), and Bart Kuijken (Breitkopf u. Härtel). The copyright status of thesecompletions being unclear, this edition provides a new completion, bars 63 to 87,by Peter Billam.Also, since the manuscript leaves the right hand of the keyboardpart blank in bars 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 25, 26, 27, and in the last beat of bar 37, thesebars have also been completed by Peter Billam.

Www.pjb.com.au also offers versions of this sonata transposed into C major forAlto recorder, and into G major for Descant recorder.
