4: The True Art
Both CPE Bach and Quantz were dedicated teachers. Bach's Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard
Instruments and Quantz's Essay of a Method for Playing the Tranverse
Flute, are instruction manuals which illuminate our understanding of the performing conventions of their day. While CPE Bach was an innovator,
Quantz adhered to convention, yet both demanded that "the performer of a piece must seek to enter into the principal and related passions that he is to express".
The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, conductor
Gustav Leonhardt , perform the fifth of CPE Bach's Hamburg Symphonies, and Trevor Pinnock (harpsichord) is accompanied by the English Concert in the Concerto in G, Wq43 No 5. Barthold Kuijken (flute),
Weiland Kuijken (cello) and Bob van Asperen (harpsichord) play Quantz's Flute Sonata in B flat, and the Paris
Baroque Ensemble perform his Trio Sonata in C minor.

SCHUBERTIAD
The second of five programmes devoted to Schubert's operas marking the bicentenary of his birth.
David Owen Norris and Schubert biographer Elizabeth Norman McKay introduce Claudine von Villa Bella (Claudine of Villa Bella). This is the one opera where Schubert had a really good librettist - Goethe - but this is also the opera of which two acts were burned for heating during the 1848 revolution. The popular first act does, however, provide some evidence of what may have happened in acts 2 and 3. This performance is a BBC studio recording made in 1978.
