Flute_Sonata_in_A_major,_BWV_1032
The Sonata in A major for transverse flute and harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1032) is a sonata in 3 movements:
- Movement 1: Vivace (in A major)
- Movement 2: Largo e dolce (in A minor, ending with a half cadence)
- Movement 3: Allegro (in A major)
Unusually, the second movement is written in the parallel minor (A minor), rather than the relative minor (F-sharp minor) or another closely related key.[1][failed verification]
The autograph is incomplete, and there are 46 bars missing.[2] There exist reconstructions by various authors.
