Tune of the Day: Presto by Bellinzani
from Recorder Sonata in F minor
This is the fourth and final movement of the eleventh sonata from Sonate a flauto solo con cembalo, o violoncello (“Sonatas for solo flute with harpsichord or cello”) by Italian Baroque composer Paolo Benedetto Bellinzani, originally published in Venice in 1720.
This movement has actually no tempo indication in the original manuscript, but it usually appears as a “Presto” in modern editions.
