However beautiful this Flute Sonata in C – recorded here for All of Bach with Anna Besson and Beatrice Martin – may be, researchers are puzzled by it. Is the piece actually by Bach? On the one hand, there is that typically elegant flute part, which first curls like cigarette smoke and then whispers like a spring breeze. And on the other hand, there is that bass line. It is uncharacteristically basic and simple for Bach; so basic in fact that at times it even sounds crude. There is practically no doubt that Bach wrote the flute part, but who is responsible for that bass line? Bach's son Carl Philipp Emmanuel, somebody else? It is a discussion that ultimately pales in comparison to the beauty of the piece.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on April 1st, 2025 at Kasteel Amerongen.

All of Bach is a project of the Netherlands Bach Society, with the aim to perform and record all of Bach's works and share them online with the world for free.
