The Sonata for flute & keyboard No. 1 in C major, Op. 1/1 was composed by Anna Bon di Venezia, an Italian composer and virtuoso performer of the 18th century. The exact date of composition is unknown, but it is believed to have been written in the early 1700s. The sonata consists of three movements: Allegro, Adagio, and Allegro. The first movement, Allegro, is in a fast tempo and features a lively and playful melody. The second movement, Adagio, is slower and more expressive, with a beautiful and lyrical flute melody accompanied by delicate keyboard harmonies. The final movement, Allegro, returns to the fast tempo of the first movement and features a lively and energetic dialogue between the flute and keyboard. The sonata is characterized by its elegant and refined style, typical of the Baroque era. The flute and keyboard are treated as equal partners, with both instruments sharing the melodic and harmonic material. The music is full of ornamentation, with trills, turns, and other embellishments adding to the overall beauty and complexity of the piece. The Sonata for flute & keyboard No. 1 in C major, Op. 1/1 premiered in the early 1700s, likely in Venice, where Anna Bon di Venezia was based. The piece quickly became popular among musicians and audiences alike, and it remains a beloved work in the flute and keyboard repertoire to this day.
