Dem Brauch der Zeit entsprechend können die beiden Solostimmen dieser gut gearbeiteten Kompositionen auf allen im 18. Jahrhundert gebräuchlichen Melodieinstrumenten gespielt werden. Empfehlenswert ist eine gemischte Besetzung (Flöte / Oboe / B.c. oder Flöte / Violine / B.c. oder Oboe / Violine / B.c.). Die erste Solostimme lässt die Ausführung durch eine Alt-Blockflöte zu. Somit erweist sich diese Sonate als wertvolle Bereicherung der Triosonaten-Literatur mit Alt-Blockflöte.

Christoph Schaffrath (1709-1763) was one of the important musicians and composers that the music-loving Frederick II of Prussia gathered around him. He can be described as one of the most interesting and imaginative composers of the Berlin circle. In addition to overtures, symphonies and quartets, he mainly wrote harpsichord works and chamber music in which the keyboard instrument plays a leading role. The editor's work extends to compiling the score, correcting some errors and setting out the continuo parts. Additions to the score are indicated as such by small notes, brackets or dotted slurs. Content: - Largo - Allegretto - Vivace

Johann Ludwig Krebs (1713–1780) is one of the most important German composers and organists of the late Baroque period. His musical education began under the guidance of his father, Johann Tobias Krebs, who was also an organist. From 1726, Krebs was a pupil of Johann Sebastian Bach at St. Thomas School in Leipzig, which had a lasting influence on his compositional style. The close relationship between teacher and student is reflected, among other things, in a playful remark by Bach, who referred to Krebs as his ‘only Krebs in my Bach’. Krebs' compositional oeuvre comprises around 230 works, with his organ compositions in particular still attracting considerable attention today. This edition brings together eight simple and stylistically expressive chorales by Johann Ludwig Krebs in an arrangement for organ and melody instrument (oboe or trumpet in C), edited by August Gottfried Ritter . The chorales are suitable for both liturgical use and concert performances. Ritter's edition makes these works accessible to a wide circle of organists and combines historical substance with practical playability. Content: 1. Es ist gewißlich an der Zeit (It is surely time) 2. Was mein Gott will, das gescheh allzeit (What my God wants, may it always happen) 3. Gott der Vater wohn' ns bei (God the Father dwells with us) 4. Herzlein lieb hab ich dich, oh Herr (I love you dearly, oh Lord) 5. Komm heiliger Geist, Herre Gott (Come Holy Spirit, Lord God) 6. O Gott, du frommer Gott (O God, you pious God) 7. Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier (Dearest Jesus, we are here) 8. Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (Awake, the voice calls us)
