Info zu Bayreuth: Flute Sonata in A Minor

“Flute Sonata in A minor” composed by Wilhelmine von Bayreuth marks the second single of a series of releases for the album Infusion Baroque’s Virtuosa, to be released June 10, 2021. The double album recording encompasses 15 works that were either composed or performed by women, and were recorded on historical instruments.

Wilhelmine was a princess of the German Kingdom of Prussia and composer. The piece for flute and basso continuo is the second autograph of Wilhelmine’s, and showcases the first pensive, then lively and thunderous performance of the solo instrument.

Wilhelmine von Bayreuth's Sonata for Flauto traverso and Basso continuo in a minor, which was only recently discovered, is the second autograph manuscript of Wilhelmine von Bayreuth known at present. The Sonata was originally written for the then common transverse flute, but it can also be played today with the modern Boehm concert flute. The instrumentation of the bass part is not specified: for harpsichord alone, or harpsichord with violoncello to intensify the bass. The presto of the sonata shows, especially, that Wilhelmine preferred 'wild thundering flute playing' over an affected performance.

"Infusion Baroque has it all: brilliant virtuosity, musical integrity and a concert presence unlike any other.” (La Scena Musicale)

​"This is real baroque ... gripping and full of character.” (Radio-Canada)

​​“Their star is on the rise, and rightfully so.” (Early Music America)
