BACH'S SONATAS for FLUTE AND PIANOFORTE
Played by JOSEPH SLATER (Flute) and GORDON BRYAN (Pianoforte)
Third Sonata, in A
THE First Movement of this work is incomplete, and the printed copy begins with the Second
Movement, in A Minor, the slow, sweetly meditative theme of which so well suits the character of the Flute. In their simple eloquence these brief pages are sure to appeal strongly to everyone who appreciates beautiful, expressive music.
The final Movement breaks forth in the major key with a quietly determined keyboard theme. This the Flute soon takes over, and it is later heard in combination with other themes.
