JS Bach - Triosonate for Flute, Violine, BC. BWV 1038 Urtext Book

'JS Bach - Triosonate for Flute, Violin, BC. BWV 1038 Urtext Book' presents a meticulous edition of this important work, featuring performance parts that were written by Bach himself. While he did not append his name to the music, this Urtext edition aims to clarify its origins. Editor Sigiswald Kuijken provides compelling arguments against the theory that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach created the trio version from the Violin Sonata BWV 1022.

The preface includes a detailed examination of new findings regarding the work's origin, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its context. This edition offers a faultless Urtext with a stylistically masterfully realized continuo part, adhering to the highest editorial standards. 

The continuo has been realised by Ewald Demeyere, thoughtfully incorporating contemporary treatises into the arrangement. With 32 pages of expertly presented music, this edition is essential for performers seeking an authentic interpretation of Bach’s trio sonata.

Review:

"I am very, very impressed by the Breitkopf / Kuijken edition of Bach's flute sonatas that I bought yet another copy when I discovered to my horror that I was en route to a recital abroad without my music. Breitkopf (make sure it's the new edition by Barthold Kuijken you buy) publish each sonata separately,  which inevitably works out more expensive, but with the amount of extra information and inclusion of flute and bass parts together this is a bargain. Everyone should have these, even if they already possess other editions." (Pan Magazine)
