About

Beethoven and the flute Sonata Op. 17 On 1801 the Sonata was published in Vienna by Mollo, with the title Sonata for Piano with a Horn or Cello. The tradition to perform the composition with the flute dates back to those same years, first of several versions for flute or violin during the composer's life, for distribution in Germany and England. The adaptation for flute was authenticated officially when it was included among other compositions in the opera omnia of Beethoven's work put together by Haslinger in Vienna in 1830, although it was never published. The Serenade Op. 25/41 is a charming succession of six pieces, preceded by an overture. The numbers of the compositions follow one another alternating between peaceful and lively, and the heart of the piece is the magnificent Andante con Variazioni e coda. The spirit of the work is still very eighteenth century, so much so that for a long time it was believed to have been written in 1795. More recent research has placed it closer to the year of publication. Sonata Op. A4 After his death, the manuscript of a Sonata for flute and piano in B flat major was found in his house. It dates back to the eighties and nineties of the eighteenth century, it shows many corrections and deletions, and is not the handwriting of the composer. For this reason, and the fact that no further testimony we received confirms that Beethoven composed a sonata for flute and piano, the origin of the work has long been questioned, and we still lack certainty as to who the author really is. Authoritative Beethovenscholars, the foremost of whom is Willy Hess, consider it authentic. For this, the piece has entered firmly in concert repertoire as a work of the great composer.
