Concerto in G minor for Flute or Treble Recorder (Flute & Piano)

Schickhardt Concerto in G minor for Flute or Treble Recorder (Flute & Piano)

Johann Christian Schickhardt (1680-1762) was a German composer and woodwind player.  Known almost exclusively today to recorder players, he was constantly on the move but never fortunate to gain a position in an important court or major city.  Although a minor figure of the late Baroque his compositions were surprisingly well-known and popular.  He player the recorder, flute and oboe (and composed almost exclusively for these instruments) which, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, were the most popular instruments for the gentleman amateur musician.
