Flute Sonata in B minor, BWV 1030
The Sonata in B minor for transverse flute and obbligato harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach is a sonata in 3 movements:
The existing autograph manuscript dates from after 1735, when Bach led the Collegium Musicum in Leipzig. There are errors in the manuscript, and another harpsichord part in G minor that is otherwise the same though transposed, that suggests that this, like the G minor and D major harpsichord concertos, may be among the works Bach transcribed from earlier works originally for other instrumental combinations and in other keys to be playable by performers at hand.Media
