| ![]() New from Noteworthy Sheet Music: "Sonata in D Major" for Two Flutes by CambiniNSM has just published a new edition of Giuseppe Maria Cambini's Opus 5 Duo 1, a delightful duet deserving the attention of present-day flutists.
Giuseppe Maria Cambini (b.1746, Livorno, Italy; d.1825, Bicêtre, France) was an Italian-born violinist and composer. He was one of the most prolific composers of his era, particularly of instrumental works, of which he wrote over 600, including numerous symphonies, 149 string quartets and over 100 trios, as well as ballets, operas, & oratorios. Flutists will know him for his concertos and extensive body of chamber works featuring the flute, including duos, trios, quartets and quintets. Noteworthy Sheet Music published this new edition of Cambini's Sonata in D Major, Op.5, Duo 1 after being contacted by flutist Richard A. Evans. Years ago, Mr. Evans located several publications of 18th and 19th century flute duets, now in the public domain, at the Library of Congress. Finding them quite enjoyable to play, and believing them undeserving of their current obscurity, he and his music colleague Bronnie Stroud took the initiative of typesetting and editing the pieces using a modern music notation software program. The editors at NSM agreed that these works should be made more readily available to present-day musicians and audiences, and are using the Evans-Stroud files as the core of their new publications of these duets.
