Nakład wyprzedany, ostatni egzemplarz The rather damning assessment by Carl Friedrich Zelter that Wilhelm Friedemann Bach ‘had the tic douloureux of being an original character, growing apart from his father and brothers and resorting to foolish, petty, unprofitable dealings’ should not deter listeners from appreciating the musical talent of a composer who was among the main forerunners of the emerging Empfindsamkeit style. C.F. Cramer described him as ‘Germany’s foremost organ player’, and Wilhelm’s radical harpsichord concertos certainly refuted contemporary critics’ claims that he was simply a continuation of his father; this release, however, is dedicated to a small corner of his output, chamber music with flute, and details two works which may be among the three lost sonatas for flute and basso continuo.

Works:

• Bach, W F: Flute Sonata No. 1 in F major, F. 51
• Bach, W F: Flute Sonata No. 2 in A minor, F. 52
• Bach, W F: Sonata in A minor, Fragment (F.49, for 2 Transverse Flutes & B.c)
• Bach, W F: Sonata in D major for 2 Transverse Flutes & B.c. (F.47)
• Bach, W F: Sonata in D major for 2 Transverse Flutes & B.c. (F.48)
• Bach, W F: Sonata in F major for Transverse Flute & B.c
