Bach, Johann Sebastian (1685–1750): Exercitium BWV 598

and other virtuoso practice pieces by Blavet, C.P.E. Bach and Mahaut, for alto recorder solo, transcribed by Adrian Wehlte. It is difficult to find any baroque studies; many will use the traverso literature. The present transcriptions were composed as practice pieces, but are so musically appealing that it is worthwhile to study them.

„... they are excellent studies that address important aspects of Baroque recorder technique: primarily the articulation and performance of the type of arpeggio/chord structures that are so essential to that repertoire. ... highly recommended.“ AMERICAN RECORDER, Summer/2022
