Tune of the Day: Adagio by Mattheson
from Flute Sonata No. 6
This is the third movement of a sonata for 3 flutes in B-flat major by the German Baroque composer and music theorist Johann Mattheson. It was published in Amsterdam in 1708.
This movement appears to lack a tempo indication in the original manuscripts, but modern editions usually classify it as an Adagio.
