Today we are going to explore some flute duos by Jacques-Martin Hotteterre. He was and still remains an important figure in the flute world.

Hotteterre owed his fame largely to his talent for playing the flute, an instrument for which he wrote a number of pieces, significantly  extending the repertory for the instrument. In addition, he played the bassoon, oboe and musette. Hotteterre was also an internationally celebrated teacher to  aristocratic patrons. He wrote one method for the transverse flute,  recorder, and oboe, published in 1707, as well as a method for the  musette, published in 1737.  His L'Art de préluder sur la flûte traversière was published in 1719. It was Europe's first flute manual and was used widely.

Today's sight-reading session is dedicated to one of the icons of the high baroque era. Georg Philipp Telemann wrote his famous collection in 1733. More than 200 subscribers were found who were willing to pay the price in advance and whose name, social status, and address were published in the first edition. The illustrious list comprised crowned heads, noblewomen, and merchants as well as German and non-German musicians and composers – among others George Frideric Handel from London, Johann Georg Pisendel and Johann Joachim Quantz from Dresden and Michel Blavet from Paris. 

Telemann, who was music director of Hamburg at the time of publication, wrote:

Diß Werk wird hoffentlich mir einst zum Ruhm gedeien,

Du aber wirst den Wehrt zu keiner Zeit bereuen ...

    This work will hopefully bring me glory one day; but you will never have regrets about its value ...

founders of the "Ensemble Tsurà"

"The name Tsurà comes from the hebrew language. It means “shape” or  “form”. This word represents for us our vision for the ensemble- with  new, curious eyes, to re-find a shape, a meaning that speaks to us today  in the music of the classics."

Today's guest of our podcast is the "foreign virtuoso Locatelli".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Locatelli

He was quite an outstanding figure in the 18th century. Some contemporaries left a notice about Locatelli's performance before Frederick William I, which anecdotally describes the musician's self-assurance and his vanity in wearing gorgeous, diamond-studded clothes. Nevertheless a library with over a thousand documents shows Locatelli's interest in literature and science. It includes ornithological, theological, church historical, political, geographical, art historical and mathematical works, and literature on music theory dating back to the 16th century. 

This man was not that simple and the flute sonata that we are going to sight-read for you today confirms our opinion.

Sonata n.2 in D major

In today's episode we are going to:

- talk about some special ways of articulation

- unexpected modulations

- a new trill fingering that was found

- try it faster?
