Johann Sebastian Bach - Flute Sonata in E-Flat Major - Bwv 1031 - A Score for the Flute


Book Description

This volume presents the complete score for Johann Sebastian Bach's “Flute Sonata in E-flat Major”. Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) was a German musician and composer during the Baroque period. He based his work on existing German styles but often adopted and adapted textures, rhythms, and forms from other countries, especially from Italy and France. Although his music was celebrated for its technical mastery, artistic beauty, and intellectual profundity during his lifetime, it was not until the 19th century that he was considered a great composer. Today, he is generally recognised as being one of the most important composers to have ever lived. With large, clear note heads and wide margins, this edition is perfect for studying and following the music. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally-enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over.
