Johann Sebastian Bach ： Flute Sonata BWV 1035

This Baroque sonata features a dialogue between flute and keyboard. It consists of four movements, progressing from a deeply lyrical Adagio through a flowing Allegro and a dance-like Siciliana to a lively Allegro assai. The melodies are shaped by long-breathed phrases and ornamentation, while the keyboard part also contains independent movement between the voices. When performing it on the piano, carefully distinguish the volume and tone of the main melody from the accompaniment, and make the exchange between voices clear. Ornaments should sound natural rather than mechanical; maintaining a sense of meter while shaping the lines with an easy, breathing flow brings out the work’s character.
