Details

The present work was advertised in Supplement IV (1769) of the Breitkopf Catalogue but was written, in all likelihood, a year or two earlier. As is the case with several of the composer's other flute concertos, the single surviving copy is preserved in the Frst Thurn und Taxis Hofbibliothek in Regensburg (Hofmann 14). The wrapper reads: " Concerto in A / Flauto traverso Concto / Violino Primo / Violino Secondo / Viola e Basso / Del Sigr. Leopold Hoffmann ". In the absence of both the autograph score and an authentic set of parts, this edition presents as faithfully as possible the intentions of the composer as transmitted in the Regensburg source. As is usual in Hofmann's concertos, there are practically no dynamic markings in the solo sections; these are left to the discretion and good taste of the performer. The style and notation of articulation and dynamic markings have been standardised throughout, and, where missing from the source, markings have been reconstructed from parallel passages. These are indicated by the use of dotted slurs or brackets. Like most eighteenth-century sources, the present manuscript is inconsistent in its notation of appoggiature ; these too have been standardised to minimise confusion. Obvious wrong notes have been corrected without comment; editorial emendations with no authority from the source are placed within brackets. Allan Badley
