The six sonatas for flute and keyboard of Bach are not a homogeneous group nor their period of composition (also somewhat blurred, if not downright opaque), or even by their construction. Three are "obliged keyboard sonatas with flute," is to say that the keyboard part is written entirely and the other three are "sonatas for flute and basso continuo, for which the harpsichordist must itself even fill the dotted line. The question remains whether that bass should be played only on the harpsichord, the harpsichord and cello ... Kuijken puzzle was solved by offering six sonatas in the same form, flute and harpsichord, that's all. Kuijken has also avoided overloading the partition of ornaments and other additions that, in the case of Bach's music, are often quite unnecessary to the richness of his speech.
