Tune of the Day: Prélude in D major
Flute duet by J.B. de Boismortier
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier was a prolific French composer of the Baroque period. His Opus 22, now known as 55 Easy Pieces in 18 Keys, or 55 leichte Stücke in 18 Tonarten, was first published in Paris in 1728. The Prélude in D major we present today is the very first duet of the collection.
