The Flute Sonatas

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Stephen Preston & Trevor Pinnock & Jordi Savall

The Flute Sonatas are a set of sonatas for transverse flute and basso continuo by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the early 18th century (c. 1717–1740). They form part of Bach's chamber-music output and exemplify Baroque contrapuntal writing and lyrical solo lines paired with continuo accompaniment, reflecting both technical demands on the soloist and the harmonic and contrapuntal inventiveness characteristic of his work.
First released: 1997
