This edition was prepared by Bernhard Paumgartner and was first published by Rudall, Carte \u0026amp; Co. before becoming part of the Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is in four contrasting movements: Largo, Allegro, Largo and Allegro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two slow movements offer plenty of opportunity for expressive phrasing, ornamentation and a singing tone, while the faster movements introduce greater rhythmic energy and technical agility. The alternation between lyrical and lively writing makes the sonata particularly rewarding for developing an understanding of Baroque style and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable for intermediate and more advanced players, Sonata Seconda works well for lessons, examinations and recital programmes, and is an attractive choice for flautists looking to explore lesser-known Italian Baroque repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Boosey \u0026amp; Hawkes edition is edited by Bernhard Paumgartner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Francesco Maria Veracini\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancesco Maria Veracini (1690–1768) was an Italian violinist and composer and one of the most celebrated violin virtuosos of the early eighteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in Florence into a musical family, Veracini developed an international career that took him to important musical centres including Venice, Dresden and London. He became known for his brilliant technique, powerful playing and highly individual musical personality, earning considerable admiration from his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis compositions include operas, concertos, sacred and vocal music, but he is particularly remembered for his collections of violin sonatas. These works combine Italian Baroque virtuosity with expressive melodic writing, imaginative harmony and considerable technical flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVeracini’s instrumental music remains a rewarding part of the Baroque repertoire, particularly for performers looking to explore music beyond the works of better-known contemporaries such as Vivaldi and Corelli.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"All Flutes Plus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60692088586574,"sku":"BH2869","price":7.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5335\/7646\/files\/715vIInc6EL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1788785302","url":"https:\/\/www.allflutesplus.com\/products\/veracini-sonata-seconda-for-flute-or-violin-and-piano","provider":"All Flutes Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
