This air is the second movement of a sonata for 2 flutes in F major by German Baroque composer and music theorist Johann Mattheson. It was published in Amsterdam in 1708.
This is the seventeenth of Jean-Daniel Braun's Pièces sans basse for flute or bassoon, published in Paris in 1740 together with Braun's Flute Sonata in E minor. These solo pieces are usually attributed to Braun, even though the front page states that they are “by the same author as well as by various others”.
The earliest appearance of this tune is found in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (Boston, 1883), in which it is attributed to “Jas. Hand”. Unfortunately, nothing is known for certain regarding who this was, although it is likely he was a stage performer or band-leader from Massachusetts in the mid-19th century. It is worth noting that, as with other melodies printed by the same publisher, the attribution may indicate only the source from whom it was collected, and not its actual origin.
This Allegro is the seventh study from a collection of 24 esercizi by Italian flutist and composer Vincenzo De Michelis.
This is the opening movement of a sonata for 2 flutes in F major by the German Baroque composer and music theorist Johann Mattheson. It was published in Amsterdam in 1708.
