He remained at the Prussian court for the rest of his career and wrote extensively for the instrument, including more than 200 flute sonatas and around 300 concertos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuantz was also the author of the influential 1752 treatise On Playing the Flute, which remains an important source of information on eighteenth century flute technique, ornamentation and performance practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60373652635982,"sku":"BASM1985","price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/Art_55042.jpg?v=1786623344","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/quantz-sonata-d-major-for-flute-and-piano","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
