Tune of the Day: Modérément by Boismortier
from “Petites sonates à deux flûtes traversières”
This “Moderato” is the opening movement of the twelfth sonata from a collection of 12 “little sonatas” for two flutes by the prolific French Baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. At its end it features a slow 4-bar coda in 3/2 time.
