Die Suite oder Partita BWV 997 ist unbestritten ein Werk Johann Sebastian Bachs. Die hier vorgelegte Fassung wird zum ersten Mal für Blockflöte und Basso continuo (Cembalo und Violoncello) vorgelegt, wobei die Partie des Cembalo besonders in der Fuge anspruchsvoll ist.

Das vorliegende Werk wurde 1987 für die Sonntäglichen Orgelstunden im Museum der Stadt Regensburg geschrieben. Für die Bearbeitung wurden originale Querflötenpartien aus dem reichen Kantatenschaffen J. B. Bachs ausgewählt. Inhalt: - Das Blut, das meine Schuld durchstreicht - Jesus, der ins Fleisch gekommen - Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan - Herzlich tut mich verlangen

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.

Benoît Tranquille Berbiguier (1782-1832) received flute lessons from J.G. Wunderlich at the Paris Conservatoire. He himself claimed that he was the first in France to recommend a fully rounded tone in the lower register. Although he never claimed a position with one of the Paris orchestras, Berbiguier enjoyed a reputation as a soloist and important composer. Berbiguier's œuvre includes a MÉTHODE COMPLÈTE POUR la FLÛTE and no fewer than 150 flute duets, a whole series of which were composed especially for use by beginners and pupils. Among them are the 36 Petit Duos op. 72 , of which a selection of the most beautiful pieces are included in this edition. Players will discover the wide range of articulations, dynamics, forms, keys and time signatures in these pieces. At the same time, the quality of the ‘Chantant’ promised in the title is fulfilled. Dotted indications of dynamics and articulation in this edition are suggestions by the editor.

Anton Bernhard Fürstenau (1792-1852) belonged to the middle of three generations of flautists and performed in public as a boy of seven. In the years 1803-1818, he accompanied his father and teacher Kaspar Fürstenau on his many concert tours through Germany and Europe. Later he also gave concerts alone or with his son Moritz and enjoyed a high reputation, which, according to contemporary judgement, made him ‘ if not the most excellent, then undisputedly one of the most excellent ... flutists ’. In 1820 Fürstenau moved to Dresden and found a position with the court orchestra conducted by Carl Maria von Weber. A lasting friendship developed between the two artists and when Weber died in London in 1826, Fürstenau was at his deathbed. The musical œuvre of the flute virtuoso can be divided into 3 groups: - works mainly for his own use - didactic works (technical studies, 2 notable flute schools) - chamber music (duets, quartets, quintets, operas with trios for 3 flutes) A thorough study of his compositions and his ideas on music and their realisation on the flute should be worthwhile for every flutist, even today. Content: - Allegro non tanto - Andante - Rondo | Allegretto
