Bach flute sonatasBach flute sonatas are a highlight of the Baroque era. While not technically difficult, it's take a masterful flutist to interpret them well.
In addition, the long phrases pose a challenge from a breathing standpoint. Partita BWV 1013 In A Minor For Solo Flute - This is a wonderful piece for solo flute, and quite often found on audition and competition lists. Sonata BWV 1030 In B Minor For Flute And Harpsicord Sonata BWV 1031 In E Flat Major for Flute And Harpsicord Sonate BWV 1033 In C Major For Flute And Continuo Sonata BWV 1034 In E Minor For Flute And Continuo Sonata BWV 1039 In G Major For 2 Flutes And Continuo Johann Sebastian's son, Carl Phillip Emmanuel, also composed many delightful pieces for the flute, including sonatas and a solo piece in A minor. Many flutists love to play the works of Bach in an authentic style, on wooden flutes. Another important part of performing Bach's flute music is the correct interpretation of ornamentation. This is a huge study in and of itself. Trills commonly start on the note above the printed one and on the beat.
