Flute Concerto in G Major. Konzert Für Flöte in G-Dur QV 5: 182

Johann Joachim Quantz's Concerto for Flute in G major QV 5: 182 is presented here in an edition by Klaus Burmeister for flute and piano. Quantz (1697-1773) was an extremely prolific composer for the flute, writing about 300 concertos plus a number of sonatas and trios. This concerto, written for flute, bassoon (ad lib.), strings and basso continuo, appeared in 1769 as one of the few flute concertos to be supplemented by a second solo instrument in the slow movement - here either bassoon or viola.
