The C.P.E. Bach Sonata in A Minor is a significant unaccompanied work for the flute. It’s also an excellent piece to play on the alto flute.

And sure, you could use the original version since you’re playing alone. But the alto flute is in G, which means it will sound a fourth lower than the same melody on a C flute.

If you want to perform this piece on the alto flute and have it sound more authentic, it makes sense to transpose it. However, most flute players don’t know how to, which is where this edition comes in.

You’ll receive:

• Digital download of the score
• The movements in the original order
• Option to redownload a lost file
• A surprise

Why this edition?

When you buy any other edition of the C.P.E. Bach Sonata, it will be in the key of A minor. That works fine when playing a flute or even a piccolo.

But if you play that version on the alto flute, it will sound in E minor. Maybe that’s not a big deal, but it can be weird to hear as the player and as an audience member.

As I’ve started to play the alto flute more, I’ve realized how important it is to transpose parts. You can get away with not doing it for a solo piece, but it’s a nice challenge to learn the piece in a different written key.

Plus, if you do that, you can play a duet of sorts with someone who plays the C flute. Then, you don’t have to transpose on sight.

Also, this is a digital download, so you can print it as soon as you get the confirmation email. Then, you don’t have to wait for me to ship you the music.

Your arranger

Hi there, I’m Hannah, and I’m a flutist, arranger, and content creator. I’ve arranged a few solo flute works for the alto flute.

After about four years of playing the alto flute consistently, I’ve found that it’s nice to play things in the correct key. Even if you’re just playing alone, you never know when you might play with someone else, and having the right edition is crucial.

Who is this edition for?

This edition is for anyone who wants to learn or re-learn the C.P.E. Bach Sonata in A minor for the alto flute. It’s great for students as well as teachers who want to play with other people.

Flute choir directors who want to have a massive performance of the melody will also enjoy having this edition on hand.

Do you offer refunds?

Unfortunately, I can’t offer refunds on digital downloads. However, I’ll do whatever I can to help you if you aren’t happy with the purchase.

Do you love the famous Mozart Quartet in D? The piece was written for flute, violin, viola, and cello.

And I don’t know about you, but I don’t know any string players near me, so I can’t play the original version. That’s why I arranged a version for a mixed flute quartet.

If you know three other flute players and have access to an alto flute and a bass flute, you can make it work. This edition works with the original flute part, or you can read the revised version from this score.

You’ll receive:

• Four separate parts
• Complete score
• Instant download
• Option to redownload a lost file
• A surprise discount code

Why this edition?

As a flutist, I know how the instrument works. That made it easy for me to translate string parts to fit the various flutes. The Mozart Flute Quartet is a huge part of the repertoire, but string players are hard to find.

If you buy this edition, you can play all of the parts and record them. You can also play the piece with fellow flute players in your band or flute choir.

Also, you don’t have to wait for a print edition to arrive in the mail. If you use an iPad for sheet music, you can download the file and import it to forScore.

Otherwise, print the pages you need using your own printer. That way, you can start learning the piece immediately.

Your arranger

Hi, I’m Hannah, and I’m a flutist, arranger, and content creator. After seeing a lack of fun arrangements for flutes, I decided to fill that gap.

My experience playing the flute has made it easier to make arrangements playable. The last thing you want is to have to struggle to breathe or to have tons of notes that are impossible to play.

Who is this arrangement for?

This arrangement is for flute students, teachers, and flute choir directors. If you’re looking for some new chamber music, you can play with other flute players.

It’s also great for score study and comparing to the original. If you’re a composer looking to write for flutes, let this version guide you!

Do you offer refunds?

Unfortunately, I can’t offer refunds on digital products. However, I will do my best to help you find a solution.

Now’s your chance to download a transposed version of all 12 fantasias in one!

The alto flute is an amazing instrument, and it can be fun to play C flute pieces on it. Sure, you don’t have to transpose these unaccompanied works.

However, doing so can help you perform a more authentic version of the fantasia you want to learn.

In this version, the Telemann Fantasias are all written a fourth higher. That way, when you play the alto flute in G, the notes will sound a fourth lower.

Soon enough, you’ll be able play these solo or even with a friend. You can play the alto and the C flute, and you’ll sound in tune.

What You’ll Get

• All 12 Telemann Fantasias (transposed up a fourth)

Have you played the J.S. Bach Partita for Solo Flute? Do you want to play the same piece on the alto flute?

While you can use the standard version, it will sound a fourth lower. To keep the standard pitch, I arranged a version specifically for the alto flute.

This version is a fourth higher to help compensate for the alto flute’s transposition. It’s a great choice for advanced players who want a little something new to try.

Since the alto flute is fairly new, there isn’t any Baroque music for it. But that changes when you include arrangements like this one.

Give it a try during your next practice session or lesson. Then, you can add it to a recital or simply play it for fun.

You’ll receive the score with all four movements. The movements have minimal editing to help you make artistic choices.
