The focus of our interest in today's reading session is a beautiful flute or violin sonata H. 542.5 BWV 1020 that was for a long time attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. We will try to discover the stylistic details and experiment with the instrumentation in this piece. A special instrument that we are using today is a copy of one of the first instruments that was created by Bartolomeo Cristofori, who was an Italian maker of musical instruments famous for inventing the piano.
