In early 18th-century England the popularity of the flute was matched by the prodigious publication of music. Often the music was written by professional flautists, rendering even the most difficult and virtuosic music very satisfying to play. Alongside sparkling sonatas by Loeillet, Handel, and Arne—and Weideman’s brilliant concerto—traditional music from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland has been included here.
