Bach, CPE- Hamburger Sonata- (Ed. Musica Rara)_PNO

 

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach ( 1714-1788) is mainly regarded nowadays as a keyboard composer. But his compositions for solo flute (soli with and without accompaniment, trio sonatas, quartets, and concertos) total more than thirty works and cover almost his entire creative career from the time around 173 5 when he was a student in Frankfurt/Oder until the very last years o f his life. The eleven authentic sonatas for flute and basso continuo are are printed here for the first time in a complete critica edition.1 edition.1 According to the Catalogue oj arl Philipp Emanuel Bach Ba ch s Estafe (Hamburg 1790, p 51, no. 19), the present sonata in G major, Wq 133/H. 564, was composed in Hamburg in 1786, almost 40 years after Bach's other works in this genre. The sonata consists o f two extended movements, an Allegretto in sonata form and a witty rondo, which are connected by a short transition. The work was composed presumably for the blind flute player Friedrich Dülon (1769-1826) who visited visited Hamburg severa times on his his concert tours from 1783 on. Carl Friedrich Cramer reports in his Magazin der Musik (1783, p 359), that Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach invited the young flute player to his home in January 1783. Bach played for him a theme at the Pianoforte in A major which was not short, and not easy". The young flutist was not only able to repeat the theme by memory without mistake mistakes, s, but he also invented a second part to it and played then sever severaa variations on the th e theme. theme. The original theme given by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach must be assumed lost i f it is not identical with the Arioso Wq 79/H. 535 which

only slightly older (1781) than the reported event and which fits the description well.

Bach was very impressed by the young blind artist, which could explain why Bach carne back to a genre abandoned by him him severa decades ago. ago. The present sonata, therefore, may be under understood stood as a virtuoso piece for Dülon that could be performed on any stop along his tours, regardless o f his accompanist's abilities, given the simplicity o f the keyboard part. By kind permission o f Mr Paul Raspé, head o f the, Library o f the Royal Conservatory o f Music at Brussels, the present edition is based on the only extant eighteenth-century copy o f the work. The manuscript is almost free from obvious mistakes. The edition follows the source as faithfully as possible. Only the notation o f accidentals and o f the bass figures has tacitly been adapted to modern standards. The original beaming has, however, been retained since it often provides valuable insights in an appropriate articulation. All editorial additions besides the realization o f the basso continuo have been inserted in Square brackets. In accordance with the source, the flute and basso parts are presented in score, rather than in separate parts, thus allowing a more intimate interplay among the performers. A keyboard player experienced in eighteenth-century performance practice may · prefer to accompany directly from the score over o ver using the realization o f the thorough bass offered here. Leipzig, December 1998

Ulrich Leisinger

Note 1 The present sonata has been discussed by Leta Mille r n two recent articles: Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's Flute Sonatas," Journal ofMusicology XII, 1993, and C. P E Bach and Friedrich Ludwig Dülon: Composition and Improvisation n Late 18th Century Germany", Early Music XXIII, 1995.

flute and basso continuo. The scribe is known as Anon. 305, a Hamburg copyist active around 1790. The copies may be regarded as authentic as they were formerly in the possession Westphal (1756-1825) in Schwerin. Westphal ordered copies
