Wiener-Urtext - Flute

The Undine Sonata for Flute and Piano is one of the few works by the composer Carl Reinecke which is regularly performed even today and is at the same time one of the few Romantic repertoire pieces for transverse Flute. Although not obviously programme music at first glance and sometimes even questioned as such by contemporaries the work nevertheless falls back on the Undine subject which was a popular Opera theme in the 19th century. The Wiener Urtext Edition now presents a new publication of the work which closely follows the text of the original edition (unfortunately manuscript sources are not extant). The notes oninterpretation follow the tracks of the extra-musical programme trying to bring the work and its interpretative understanding into close connection with the Undine subject.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Sonata in A minor for solo Flute constitutes a counterpart to the partita of his father Johann Sebastian in the same key. Created in 1747 but unpublished until 1763 it heralds the sentimental style of a new era compared to the ca. 30 years older work of his father. The edition is based on the first edition which is hidden among Piano works by C. Ph. E. Bach and other composers in the anthology 'Musikalisches Mancherley'. A separate edition also published in 1763 proved to be an offspring of the first edition with identical musical text and could be eliminated as source for the edition. But the edition wasalso based on a late 18th-century copy from the Giedde Collection in Copenhagen which is of great significance to the Flute literature. Although it also seems to go back to the first edition it nevertheless turns out to be a contemporary corrective to deficiencies of the first edition in some passages. The practical performance notes of the Kuijken pupil Susanne Schrage not only come close to the musical text by means of the Flute method of Bach's Berlin fellow composer Johann Joachim Quantz but also analyse relevant chapters of 'Versuch über die wahre Art das Clavier zu spielen' by C. Ph. E. Bach himself thus providing interpretational aids right from the composer's perspective.

Johann Sebastian Bach's Partita in A minor for solo Flute actually entitled 'Solo pour la flûte traversière' is one of the undisputed gems of the Flute repertoire. The work is extant in only one copy as autograph material of the composer has not survived. This raises a number of questions and problems which the present edition faces again not only in the preface and notes on interpretation but also in the musical text itself. Due to the meticulous examination and assessment of all text details the transition to the repetition of the second part in the Allemande for example is structured differently than in most establishededitions. The practical performance notes examine the musical text on the basis of practical sources of contemporaries of Bach as well as in accordance with the principles of musical rhetoric.

Sonate Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach en la mineur pour flûte solo quasi constitue une contrepartie de la partita de son père Johann Sebastian dans la même tonalité. Créé en 1747, mais non publié jusqu'en 1763, il annonce le style sentimentale d'une nouvelle ère, par rapport à l'env. 30 ans de plus de travail de son père. L'édition est basé sur la première édition qui est caché parmi les oeuvres pour piano de C. Ph. E. Bach et d'autres compositeurs de l'anthologie 'Musikalisches Mancherley'. Une édition séparée, également publié en 1763, s'est avéré être un rejeton de la première édition avec le texte musical identiques et pourraient être éliminés en tant que source pour l'édition. Mais l'édition a également été basée sur une fin du 18e siècle exemplaire de la Collection Giedde à Copenhague qui est d'une grande importance à la littérature flûte. Bien qu'il semble également revenir à la première édition, il s'avère néanmoins avéré être un correctif contemporain à des carences de la première édition, dans certains passages. Les notes relatives aux performances pratiques de l'Kuijken élève Susanne Schrage non seulement se rapprocher du texte musical au moyen de la méthode de flûte de Bach de Berlin collègue du compositeur Johann Quantz Joachim, mais aussi d'analyser les chapitres pertinents du 'Versuch über die Art wahre, das zu Clavier spielen 'par C. Ph. E. Bach lui-même, offrant ainsi des aides d'interprétation droite du point de vue du compositeur. / Flûte
