6. W.A. Mozart. Sonatinas arranged for flute duo.

In about 1783 Mozart wrote a set of five divertimeni for three basset horns. (K439b). The scarcity of basset horns has meant that these pieces are usually played on, and much better known for, the combination of two clatinets and bassoon. Early in the nineteenth century movements were selected from these five divertimenti and published as a set of six piano sonatinas. Called the "Six Viennese Sonatinas" they have been popular with amateur and novice piano players ever since.

Derek Poole has now arranged the sonatinas for two flutes, ensuring that they are playable on the one-keyed flutes of Mozart's time. Copyright Derek Poole 2007, non-commercial copying is welcome.

Arrangements for two and three one-keyed flutes from various Mozart sources.

 

Sonata KV 46d. Comprising an allegro and a pair of Menuets in C major this has been transposed into D and transcribed for flutes. It was one of a pair of sonatas written in August or September 1768. Modern sources vary in their ascription of the original instumentation. These pieces are variously described as being for keyboard solo, violin and cello duo, violin and bass (i.e. violin and  keyboard continuo). We hope you enjoy this two flute arrangement by Derek Poole.  NEW    10 April 2008

 

Menuett and trio in G. This is number 11 in the 1759 Notenbuch fur Maria Anna (Nannerl) compiled by Leoplold Mozart. The exact authorship is in debate. Originally in F it has been arranged for three flutes. New  12 May 2008

 

Menuet in C. This is the Menuett and trio  which appears as number 21 in the notebook for Nannerl compiled by Leopold Mozart. Again the exact authorship is unknown. Arranged flute duo.  New  12 May 2008

 

Rondo in D.   Arranged from KV485 for two flutes. As usual this arrangement fits the one keyed flutes of Mozart's time.    KV4485 Flute 1        KV485 Flute 2   New 8 July 2008

 

Derek Poole has prepared a basic realisation of the figured bass to serve as the starting point for performance. Non-commercial copying is welcomed.

10. Vanhall.

"Six Solos or Sonatas for a Flute or Violin with a thoroughbass for the Harpsichord" were published in London by J Bland who gives the composer as C Vanhall.

Both the Gidde Collection catalogue and Frans Vester's Catalogue give the composer as J B Vanhal (or Wanhall).

The solo (flute) part has a wide range including bottom c# and c. Perhaps Vanhall had in mind the newer multi keyed flutes with extended bottom joints which were in favour especially amongst wealthy amateurs in the late 18th century.

Transcription and realisation copyright D Poole 2008.
