Tune of the Day: Air in G major by Monzani
with bass accompaniment
Today we propose the first air from Italian flutist Tebaldo Monzani's Twelve Airs as Solos for a German Flute with a Violoncello or Bass Accompaniment, published in London around the year 1800. Monzani was an all-round music professional: he started his career as a virtuoso, and went on to become a composer, publisher, and flute maker.
