Page58 #15, From Sonata No.6, Op.8 (The Italian)

Selected Duets for Flute, Page 58 Number 15, From Sonata No.6, Op.8 (The Italian), performed by David Summer. This second of the 3 duets by Chedeville is from a series of sonatas entitled "Il pastor fido". These sonatas have a curious history, in that Chedeville made a secret agreement with Jean-Noël Marchand to publish the collection as if they were written by Antonio Vivaldi. This was probably to make use of the more famous composer’s name recognition in order to increase sales. The duet has a somewhat jagged melodic line and the slightly unusual tempo marking of Vivement, meaning quick or lively. For this performance, only the first repeat is taken and the metronome setting is quarter note = 96.
