The attribution to J. S. Bach is supported by two independent sources: a manuscript copy in the hand of Bach’s son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, and a copy by Christian Friedrich Penzel, Bach’s last pupil. However, some musicologists, including Jeanne Swack, have suggested that the sonata might have been modeled on an earlier work for flute in E-flat by Johann Joachim Quantz (QV2:18 in the Augsburg catalog), or possibly even composed by Quantz himself. While the themes are distinct, there are structural and compositional similarities between the two works. Swack notes that BWV 1031 is more complex and extensive than Quantz’s piece.
The Siciliano movement is particularly notable for being set in G minor, the mediant minor key (the relative minor of the dominant key), which is unusual for a central movement in a Baroque sonata15. This movement has become especially popular and has been transcribed for various instruments, including piano, by arrangers such as Wilhelm Kempff.
In summary, BWV 1031 is a significant work in the flute repertoire, admired for its expressive depth and technical demands, and remains a subject of scholarly discussion regarding its authorship and compositional influences.
