Beschreibung
German oboist and violinist Sebastian Bodinus (1700-1759) might today be almost completely forgotten if not for his Musicalischen Divertissiments — a six-part collection of ensemble sonatas that was published by the Leopold family in Ausburg and issued between 1726 and 1730. Part II of the Musicalischen Divertissiments (1727) contains six sonatas for transverse flute, violin and basso continuo, all of them Sonaten auf Concertenart, that is to say they incorporate features of the concerto genre, including the fast-slow-fast movement scheme, ritornello form in the first movement, and ‘solo’ episodes. They are dedicated to Crown Prince Friedrich Ludwig, duke of Württemburg, who was an avid flautist and recorder player. But while the ‘solos’ tend to favour the flute. the demands made of the flautist are limited, perhaps an indication of Friedrich Ludwig’s technical abilities. Whatever the case, these interesting and very appealing works are accessible to amateur musicians. Like several chamber concertos by Vivaldi, Telemann and Boismortier, they offer players of the flute and the violin the opportunity to perform ‘concertos’ without having to organise an accompanying orchestra!.
