Bach's Sonata in E minor, BWV 1034, is an essential piece in the repertoire of Baroque flute music. It is believed to have been composed during Bach's time in Cöthen (1717-1723) or slightly later in Leipzig. The sonata is written for the side-blown traverso or "German" flute and is constructed in the Baroque sonata di chiesa ("church sonata") format, with a slow-fast-slow-fast order of movements. The work's technical demands suggest that it was intended for a musician of great skill, featuring quicksilver virtuosity and a concertante effect created by the interplay between the flute and the basso continuo accompaniment. The piece is known for its flowing phrases, virtuosic passages, and the contrapuntal interplay between the flute and keyboard. The fast movements exhibit thrilling, rapid lines and dazzling fireworks, making it a significant and challenging work in the flute repertoire.
