Bach had a predilection for creating solo works for instruments that were more usually supplied with a keyboard accompaniment. It is thus only logical that, as well as the violin and cello, he also thought of making use of the typical melodic character of the flute in this way.
Through the skillful use of broken chords he even succeeds in creating the illusion of polyphony. It soon becomes clear that Bach’s lyrical cantilenas are convincing even without the support of accompanying chords on a keyboard instrument. A high point in flute literature!
巴赫偏好為那些通常由鍵盤樂器伴奏的樂器創作獨奏作品。因此,除了小提琴和大提琴之外,他也想到以這種方式運用長笛典型的旋律特性,也就不足為奇了。
透過巧妙地運用分解和弦,他甚至成功地營造出複調音樂的錯覺。很快地人們就會發現,即使沒有鍵盤樂器的伴奏,巴赫抒情的歌唱性長笛也同樣令人信服。這堪稱長笛文獻的巔峰之作!
