Abstract
One of the most important works for solo flute not only in Baroque music but also in any time of History, has hardly ever been studied apart from schematic introductions to sheet music or CDs editions. From the flutist side and under a historical, musicological and technical perspective, I provide as a new contribution my personal reflections as well as a review of the most relevant bibliography. The aim of this paper is to explain important issues such as theories about the origin and date for composition of Sonata BWV 1030, the relationship of Bach and the flute, technical difficulties of execution, and, as the more controversial one, the existence of a properly idiomatic language for the flute. Furthermore, other issues on the form and style must be included on a general approach like that and are discussed as well. Finally, an Appendix is supplied with the most representative sheet music and recordings including the sonata BWV 1030.
