Tune of the Day: Affettuoso by Loeillet
from Sonata for Two Flutes No. 1
This ternary-form “Affettuoso e poco vivace” (affectionate and a bit lively) in D major constitutes the second movement of Jean-Baptiste Loeillet's Six sonatas of two parts, made on purpose for two German flutes, composed in 1720.
