Flute Sonata in A major, BWV 1032

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sonata in A major for transverse flute and harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1032) is a sonata in 3 movements:

  • Movement 1: Vivace (in A major)
  • Movement 2: Largo e dolce (in A minor, ending with a half cadence)
  • Movement 3: Allegro (in A major)

Unusually, the second movement is written in the parallel minor (A minor), rather than the relative minor (F-sharp minor) or another closely related key.[1][failed verification]

The autograph is incomplete, and there are 46 bars missing.[2] There exist reconstructions by various authors.
