“You can never have too much Quantz!”
If you love Quantz and have played all the solo Fantasies many times over this book is for you. It's full of little known solo pieces a couple of which turned out not to be by Quantz but by Blochwitz and Blavet. They are all lovely, with the selection of caprices, different fantasies and dances revealing yet more of the inventiveness of the composer. There is so much for everyone to enjoy here - you can never have too much Quantz!
From the Publisher
American flutist Eric Lamb presents a rarely heard collection of 15 solo flute pieces (Fantasies, Minuets, Sarabandes etc.) and the complete Eight Caprices by Johann Joachim Quantz. The source for this edition is the manuscript preserved by the Royal Library of Copenhagen under the title Fantasier og Preludier. // 8 Capricier og andre Stykker til Øvelse for Flöÿten af Quantz. These pieces are far more than etudes or finger gymnastics, but rather a telescopic look at performance practice, style and technique of the 1700s throughout Europe. This edition accompanies Eric Lamb’s acclaimed recording Quantz: Solo Flute Music (paladino music PMR0060) and presents many of those pieces for the first time in modern print.
