Giacob Basevi Cervetto
Concerto in D major
Solo flute, two violins, viola, violoncello and basso continuo
edited by Michael Talbot
Of Cervetto's six concertos surviving in manuscript five are for cello, but one, which came to light only recently, is for flute, being a clever adaptation of one of his own flute sonatas. This sparkling and melodious work, whose slow movement contains a written-out cadenza, is well suited to amateur as well as professional performance.
