Description
In his reconstruction, Klaus Hofmann comes as close as possible to the presumably lost original version.
It is now regarded as a proven fact that J. S. Bach derived two works from a trio sonata which was most likely in the key of in B-flat Major: the well-known organ Trio Sonata No. 1 in E-flat Major BWV 525 and the slow middle move-ment of the incomplete Flute Sonata in A Major BWV 1032. in his reconstruction, Klaus Hofmann comes as close as possible to the presumably lost original version. While the melody instruments - the range suggests an alto recorder and oboe - were adapted practically without change, the bass part underwent considerable alterations. An organ pedal part simply is not a continuo line. However, Hofmann found a stylistically and idiomatically compelling solution to this dilemma.
