It is now possible to add the epithet « previously » to the formulation of these sonatas as « attributed to Bach » in the title of this Urtext edition; today it is assumed that none of the three sonatas was written by « Father » Bach, but rather by his son Carl Philipp Emanuel. Yet this, too, cannot be completely and unambiguously authenticated; doubts linger. In any case, the issue does not detract from the extraordinary popularity of, for example, the Sonatas in E flat major and g minor, which have stunningly beautiful slow movements. The sonatas are part of the flautist’s daily bread.
