Vivace alla Francese. From the Giedde collection, excerpted in The Baroque Solo Book. Johann Joachim Quantz, 1697-1773, was a German flute maker, player and composer. He was considered one of the finest flute players in Europe, and wrote a famous treatise, “ersuch einer Anweisung die Flöte traversière zu spielen” (1752), which is a valuable resource today on baroque performance practice and flute technique.
