Die Ausgabe dieses Flötenkonzertes D-Dur erfolgt nach dem Erstdruck im Urtext.

Eine Sonate im klassischen Stil der 2. Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts? Als diese Idee an Matthias Maute herangetragen wurde, entwickelte er schnell eine Begeisterung für die großen musikalischen Möglichkeiten dieser speziellen Musiksprache. Es entstand das vorliegende dreisätzige Werk, das mit seinen virtuosen Spielfiguren, der verfeinerten Dynamik, seiner detaillierten Artikulation und Phrasierung hohe Ansprüche an den Solisten stellt.

Giuseppe Maria Gioacchino Cambini (1746-1825) was an Italian composer and violinist who was very successful in Paris at the end of the 18th century. Only fragments of his life and biography are known. Giuseppe Maria Gioacchino Cambini's numerous flute compositions include two collections of six sonatas each for flute and basso continuo. The first (1er Livre de Sonate) was published by Mussard (Paris) in 1782, the second (2e Livre des Sonates de Flûte) followed around 1787 by Sieber. The sonata in C major presented here is the fourth of the first volume, which the Ecole Nationale de Musique et d'Art Dramatique in Dijon has kindly made available.

Mozart's favourite instrument was not the flute. This is generally known and can be seen from the fact that he only dedicated four chamber music works to it, namely the four quartets for flute, violin, viola and cello. Even the ‘flute sonatas’ - the early sonatas Opus 10, 11, 12 and 13 - which have been available in print for some time, are merely arrangements of sonatas for piano and violin. At that time, the term ‘piano’ meant the harpsichord. It was not until around 1780 that ‘piano’ generally meant the fortepiano. In the manuscript of the Sonata in B flat major K. 378, composed in 1779, Mozart still explicitly specified the harpsichord. It was published in 1781 as part of the second series of 6 sonatas for piano and violin, whereby the order of the instruments mentioned is typical for this period: The piano is the main carrier of the musical action and is accompanied by the melody instrument. Mozart composed 35 sonatas for this instrumentation, but not a single one for flute! In order to give flute players the opportunity to play works by Mozart with piano, this violin sonata was chosen for an arrangement. The work is well suited to the flute, so that no major changes had to be made to adapt the violin part to the technical requirements of the flute. Even the original key (B flat major) could be retained. All the dynamic markings and articulation indications contained in the original text were retained, only the legato slurs in the violin part were altered in some places for the flute. Both dots and wedges as well as intermediate forms indicate the staccato in Mozart. For the facilitate reading, standardised dots have been used in this edition. The dynamic indications in the piano part are not given for each hand individually, as is the case in Mozart's manuscript, but for both hands together, provided they are the same for both hands.This edition enriches the repertoire of flautists with a valuable musical work and brings joy to all players. Content: - Allegro moderato - Andantino sostenuto e cantabile - Rondeau / Allegro

Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773) was a German composer and flautist. Orphaned at an early age, he was apprenticed to a related town musician in Merseburg. He then studied counterpoint with Zelenka and Fuchs in Vienna in 1717. He joined the Royal Polish Chapel in Dresden and Warsaw in 1718, first as an oboist and then as a flautist. From 1724-1727, he travelled to Italy, Paris and London on an electoral scholarship. Returning to his old position in Dresden, he played for Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia in 1728, who chose him as his teacher and appointed him as his musical confidant in Berlin after his accession to the throne in 1741. Quantz wrote the first German flute school ‘Versuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversiere zu spielen’, which was authoritative until the 19th century and is particularly valuable to us today as a source for the performance practice of early music. Among other things, he composed flute concertos, chamber music with flute, solo and trio sonatas for flute and basso continuo, flute duets and trios. The present edition is based on the manuscripts of two trios in D major for 3 transverse flutes, which are kept in Det Kongelige Bibliotek in Copenhagen. Additions and embellishments are indicated by small engravings, bracketing and dashes. Content: Trio I - Aria - Rigaudon - Menuet - Sarabande - Plaisanterie Trio II - Adagio - Vivace - Largo - Allegro

Michel Blavet (1700-1768) was a French composer and flute virtuoso. He was a remarkable artist who not only specialised in the bassoon and flute, but was also known for his exceptional intonation, even in difficult keys. Voltaire admired the beautiful sound of his playing and Marpurg described him as a virtuoso of the highest quality who maintained modesty despite his great popularity. He was characterised by the fact that he held the flute with his left hand, which set him apart from most flutists of his time. His works, written mainly for the transverse flute, show both the 'Italian and French styles' and are written in simple keys to make them accessible to amateurs. His surviving works include a concerto and 3 sonata books (1740).
