BACH SONATAS FOR FLUTE AND PIANOFORTE
Played by JOSEPH SLATER (Flute) and GORDON BRYAN (Pianoforte)
Fifth Sonata in E Minor
Adagio ma non Tanto; Allegro ; Andante ; Allegro
THIS begins with a slow Movement, the Flute winding its way in grave beauty, making a discourse with several points of effective climax and coming to a quietly powerful end.
The Second Movement is the man of action, springing off with lithe energy, ready for the chase, and never tiring; making us feel, at the end, that ho could as easily run over the course again without pausing to draw breath.
Next, of course, comes another contrast, but this slower Movement is very different from the opening one. This is all curving, long-breathing, lyrical melody, full of quiet happiness.
Follows the last Movement, a masterful Allegro, sweeping along imperiously and carrying us with it on the exhilarating course.
