Johann Joachim Quantz's On Playing the Flute has long been recognized as one of the primary sources of information about eighteenth-century performance practice. In spite of its title it is not simply a tutor for the flute but a fully-fledged programme for training musicians of all types with detailed information on intonation ornamentation dynamics the 'duties' of the various accompanying performers including the leader of the orchestra and the principal forms and styles (French Italian and German) of the time. Although Quantz is most often identified as the teacher of Frederick the Great his musical roots were in Dresden the most brilliant musical establishmentin Germany; and his travels and studies in Italy France and England gave him direct experience of most phases of European musical life in the 1720s and 30s. This reissue of the second edition provides a wonderfully complete and detailed picture of musical taste and performance practice in the 18th century and includes a new introduction by Professor Reilly drawing attention to recent research on Quantz. Whether you want to learn to play the flute and be taught by the teacher of Frederick the Great or just to gain a first-hand insight into the history of classical music On Playing the Flute is an essential and entertaining read.

Nr. 1 2 3 4 5 6 8-Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773) was one of the most famous flautists of his time. As a composer his repertoire included a significant number of sonatas for flute and continuo. Seven of these compositions arguably ranking amongst the most beautiful flute works from the Baroque era are included in this edition.

Konzert für Flöte Streicher und Basso continuo-From among the nearly 300 flute concertos by Johann Joachim Quantz the flute teacher of King Frederick the Great the G-major work QV 5:174 has been enjoying a very special popularity ever since its rediscovery by the Dresden flautist Moritz F?rstenau in the late 19th century. The principal source for the present Urtext edition is the set of parts of the first performance which took place in Berlin's Charlottenburg Palace in 1745. This source assumes a unique significance due to the many entries and emendations in the hand of the composer.

American composer-bassist Armand Russell has created a wealth of music for double bass over the past fifty years and more recently has arranged a tasteful number of works for the instrument. This four movement sonata (Adagio Allegro Largo Presto) by Johann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773) offers a new and accessible transcription for the good intermediate bassist who is confident in low thumb position. Only available in orchestral tuning there are musical and technical challenges in equal measure and much to enjoy for performers and audiences alike. Sonata in G major is also available in two editions for double bass (or cello) trio andstring orchestra. The accompaniment is playable by piano or harpsichord and the limited range of dynamics allows each performer freedom to create their own unique performance and interpretation.

Benda, FranzKonzert C-Durfür Viola, Streicher und Bcfür Viola und Klavier Inhalt:Berliner Klassik, Serie A, Konzerte, Band 6Schmidt, Philipp, ednach den Konzert für Flöte, Streicher und Bc G-Dur, LeeB 2.11Der Violinist und Komponist Franz (Frantiek) Benda (1709-1786), zählt nebenJohann Joachim Quantz (1697-1773), den Brüdern Carl Heinrich (1703/04-1759)und Johann Gottlieb Graun (1702/03-1771) und Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach(1714-1788) zu den bedeutendsten Musikerpersönlichkeiten am Hof Friedrichs II.(1712-1786). Benda gilt daneben auch als Mitbegründer einer eigenständigennorddeutschen Violinschule. [...] Bendas kompositorisches Schaffen ist fastausschließlich auf die Instrumentalmusik, genauer gesagt, die Violinmusikkonzentriert. Von seinen Kompositionen sind etwa 15 Sinfonien, etwa 20Solo-Konzerte (für Violine oder Flöte), mehr als 150 generalbassbegleiteteSolo-Sonaten (für Violine oder Flöte, darunter auch eine für Bratsche ),einige Violinduette und Triosonaten, etwa 100 Capricen für Violine allein undeinige Lieder erhalten, die hauptsächlich in Abschriften, aber auch in einerüberschaubaren Anzahl zeitgenössischer Drucke Verbreitung fanden.Bei der hier erstmals veröffentlichten Fassung für Bratsche, Streicher undBasso continuo in C-Dur handelt es sich um eine zeitgenössische Bearbeitungeines wohl ursprünglich für Violine oder Flöte entstandenen Solo-Konzerts vonFranz Benda, LeeB 2.11, das im Breitkopf-Katalog dreimal erscheint und wohlvor 1763 komponiert wurde. [...]Diese zeitgenössische Bearbeitung fernab von Berlin und Potsdam noch dazumit separaten Verzierungen und Kadenzen für den ersten und zweiten Satz, dieeiner süddeutsch-österreichischen Aufführungstradition entspringen in einemniederösterreichischen Umfeld in Melk zu lokalisieren, ist für dasBratschenrepertoire des 18. Jahrhunderts einzigartig. / Ensemble à cordes / Grahl & Niklas
