Beschreibung
Sonata 1 opens with a movement marked Sostenuto expressing to perfection the melancholy gracefulness associated with B minor. This is followed by a vivacious Allegro, kaleidoscopic in its ever-changing rhythmic patterns. The sonata concludes with a charming homage to the French style in the form of a gavotte en rondeau. The opening movement of Sonata 2, which has some exquisite harmonic turns, displays what Quantz called the prächtig (magnificent) style, with a pompously striding bass and heavily dotted rhythms for the flute. The following Allegro moderato features jaunty syncopations interspersed with rapid flurries of demisemiquavers. Balicourt concludes with a sparkling ‘applause finale’, frothy but never trivial.
