The Sonata for flute & keyboard No. 4 in D major, Op. 1/4 was composed by Anna Bon di Venezia, an Italian composer and performer, in the early 18th century. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written around 1720. The sonata was premiered in Venice, Italy, where Bon di Venezia was a prominent musician. The sonata consists of three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Allegro. The first movement, Allegro, is in a fast tempo and features a lively and energetic melody. The flute and keyboard share the melodic material, with the keyboard providing a supportive accompaniment. The second movement, Adagio, is slower and more expressive. The flute takes the lead in this movement, with the keyboard providing a delicate and understated accompaniment. The final movement, Allegro, returns to the fast tempo of the first movement. This movement features a playful and lively melody, with the flute and keyboard trading off melodic material. The sonata is characteristic of the Baroque period, with its use of counterpoint and ornamentation. The flute and keyboard are equal partners in the sonata, with each instrument taking turns leading and supporting the melodic material. The sonata is also notable for its use of virtuosic flourishes, particularly in the fast movements. Overall, the Sonata for flute & keyboard No. 4 in D major, Op. 1/4 is a charming and lively work that showcases the talents of Anna Bon di Venezia as both a composer and performer.
