Tune of the Day: Allegro ma non tanto by Quantz
from Sonata No. 6 in G major
This lively “Allegro ma non tanto” (“Allegro, but not too much”) is the second movement of Johann Joachim Quantz's Sonata No. 6 in G major for flute and continuo. It is one of the many works for flute that Quantz composed for his student and patron Frederick II, King of Prussia.
