Concerto for 2 Flutes in G minor, QV 6:8 By Johann Joachim Quantz (with Score)

Just thinking, why many Baroque composers have Johann in their first name....
Quantz is a famous composer for flute pieces, he has most of his works in imslp related to flute: flute concerto, flute sonata .....
Hope you enjoy~

Is it Quartz or Quantz? Or are the two just the alternative spellings for the same name? Thanks for the score by the way.

[@SisselOnline]

Lol
Obviously I'm stuck in chemistry quartz for too long haha

[@Ed_UKation]

It's JJ Quantz.

The concerto's in Italian style written by German composers were mostly better than the ones by the Italians themselves.

[@stefanocontiflutechannel6812]

I don't agree.

[@pepehaydn7039]

Music Writen by spanish composers in italian Style is better than music composed by italian themselves?
True or false?

[@christianwouters6764]

It's not a question of nationality, in fact Italy and Germany didn't exist in those days. In general I find the Italianate music by Zelenka, Bach, Telemann etc. better written than most Italian works by Pergolesi, Corelli and many others. Exception of course for a real genius like Vivaldi. This Quantz concerto is certainly not superior in invention to Vivaldi.

[@pepehaydn7039]

For sure, it is a question of eclecticism. There Are many local Elements in italian-Style in other countries that result in more diversity.

Why is this being performed with recorders and not Traversi?

[@SisselOnline]

Idk
But it sounds good anyway

[@bachtehude2437]

The second part is being played by a Traverso
