Bernhard - how do you know so much??!!
J. S. Bach wrote 7 sonatas for transverse flute (which had just been invented and was still made of wood):BWV 1030 in B minor (for flute and obbligato cembalo)BWV 1032 in A major (for flute and obbligato cembalo)BWV 1034 in E minor (for flute and continuo)BWV 1035 in E major (for flute and continuo)BWV 1039 in G major (for 2 flutes and continuo)BWV 1013 in A minor (for unaccompanied flute)The trio sonata in C minor from the Musical Offering.Then there are these three sonatas which are often attributed to Bach, but most scholars now agree were not probably composed by him.BWV 1031 in Eb major (for flute and cembalo)BWV 1020 in G minor (for flute and cembalo)BWV 1033 in C major (for flute and continuo)So which one do you have in mind?I will guess you are referring to the “Siciliano” – second movement of the BWV 1031 sonata – a piece that is well known and much played (even Jacques Loussier has made a jazzy version of it!). It goes: D – Eb - D – D – G – Eb – C etc.If so, there are a number of piano transcriptions available. On the other hand, you can just get the score and play it straight from there - It is very easy - (play the cembalo/piano part with the left hand and the flute part with the right, sharing between hands when the span becomes impossible).Best wishes,Bernhard.
Hmmm... thats a very long list. Actually i have only heard it once played by someone and ir remembered that it was very good but i am sure the score for it is really rare. Has all of those pieces you mentioned being transcribled for the piano already?Regards,Zhiliang
