Book Synopsis

J. S. Bach's Sonata in G Minor BWV 1030b is perhaps better known in its later version for flute and harpsichord where it was re-cast in b minor (BWV 1030). For the earlier g minor version only the harpsichord part remains, and it is a matter of conjecture which instrument Bach really intended. Of all his flute works Bach's b minor sonata is the most ambitious, and played on the oboe the epic nature of the piece is even more evident.

J. S. Bachs Sonate in g-Moll BWV 1030b ist vielleicht besser bekannt in ihrer späteren Fassung für Flöte und Cembalo BWV 1030 in h-Moll. Von der früheren g-Moll-Fassung ist nur der Cembalopart erhalten, und man kann nur vermuten, welches Instrument Bach für das Werk vorgesehen hatte. Von all seinen Flötenwerken ist Bachs h-Moll-Sonate das ehrgeizigste, und auf der Oboe gespielt kommt der epische Charakter des Stücks noch deutlicher zur Geltung.
