Flute Concerto in A Major (Wq.168, H.438)
Cello Concerto in A Major (Wq.172, H.439)
Performance
When Johann Sebastian Bach made contact with the new woodwinds of
French origin, he had to make a decision to solve the problem of the different
pitch between the winds, the strings and the organ. His solution, the first
times, was to write these new woodwinds as transposing instruments. This was
the case of the recorders in the Cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit BWV
106, or the oboe in the Cantata Aus der Tiefen rufe ich, Herr, zu dir BWV 131.
Furthermore, in this edition the recorder plays in B flat Major -using an
instrument in 415 Hz- while the strings play in A Major –in a pitch of 440 Hz-
using the original parts of the Traverso Concerto Wq. 168. These string parts
are also freely available on [Link] .
The performance is also possible with a recorder in 392 and strings in 415.
This way, the original writing for the strings by the composer is preserved. The
tessitura of the traverso part has allowed a transposition of a minor second,
instead of the usual minor third that separates traverso and recorder music.
