Six Sonatas Op2(v.2)(4-6)

6 Sonatas Op. 2, Book 2
Sonatas 4-6
Composed by Michel Blavet (1700-1768)
For flute and keyboard (or piano)
Preface in French, English and German by Graham Sadler
Published by Boosey & Hawkes
Includes score and flute part

This edition was first produced between 1908 and 1913.  The editor took a number of liberties with Blavet's notation; he omitted the composer's breathing marks and continuo fingering, altered some of the articulation (and even certain notes and rhythms) and added dynamics.  He also changed Blavet's principal ornament sign from '+' to the modern 'tr' , though without essentially changing the meaning.  In some respects this edition, with it's “more pianistic” accompaniment, may be better suited to the “modern” flutist than a facsimile or Urtext edition. – Graham Sadler, September 1992
