The music for two flutes can only bring back to the ancient art of counterpoint. Two monodic lines that follow each other represent a perfect starting point to reveal proportions, deceptions, doublings and whatever the baroque praxis has illustrated and taught us over the centuries, in great detail. For this reason we would have thought to start our musical journey with the music of Wilhelm Friedmann Bach, eldest son of the supreme Johann Sebastian, as well as brilliant genius of very refined music but, alas, incapable, in real life to manage his talent ending his days in extreme, indebted and indigent poverty.
