The Sonata in C major for flute and basso continuo (BWV 1033) is a
sonata in 4 movements. It is attributed to
Johann Sebastian Bach in the manuscript, which is in the hand of his son
Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and has been dated to about 1731, although scholars question the attribution [1]
The movements are:
Andante – Presto
Allegro
Adagio
Menuet 1 – Menuet 2 Jeanne Swack notes that the first menuet "is related to the first in a set of variations in a concerto for oboe, obligato cembalo and doubling cello by the
Merseburg composer
Christoph Förster"; this suggests that the movements of BWV 1033 "may have had a disparate origin, as does the sudden appearance of an obbligato cembalo part solely for that movement."[1]
