- Instrumentation:
- (Baroque) flute and figured bass (harpsichord, clavichord or organ, with optional violoncello or viola da gamba)
Kirnberger’s Vermischte Musikalien of
1769 contain keyboard music, sonatas for violin, flute,
oboe, etc. The flute sonata, now published for the first
time in a modern edition, contains a special effect in bar
11 of the first movement. The flute part asks for a ‘F
i’, a pitch a little lower than normal F, so that the
interval with the G below has the ratio of 4:7, the
so-called ‘harmonic seventh’. The introduction
of the edition provides further information. This sonata can
be played on normal instruments; it is written in the
style galant of C. P. E. Bach, whose contemporary
Kirnberger was.
