Trio in C minor - Quantz

Quantz was one of the great masters of the flute, who was born at Gottingen in 1697 and died at Potsdam in 1773. In 1718 Quantz joined the Chapel of the King of Poland as oboist, but after a few years he began to interest himself in the flute, which eventually became his favourite instrument. After a few years his name was famous throughout Europe as a flute soloist, teacher, and composer. His flute compositions consist of innumerable duets, trios, quartets, and about three hundred concertos.
