Frederick The Great: Have Flute Will Travel
Manage episode 342250554 series 2924017
Description
King Frederick II of Prussia aka Frederick The Great was passionate about music. He particularly loved to play the flute, which he initially learned in secret due to his father being a straight-laced military man. Take a minute to get the scoop!
Check out Friedrich II - Concerto For Flute, Strings & Continuo No.1 in G major
1st Movement - Allegro, c/o YouTube
Fun Fact
King Frederick II loved operas but never wrote one himself – he did, however, contribute arias for operas by Carl Graun, and wrote the libretto for Graun’s opera Montezuma. His flute sonatas make virtuosic demands on the performer and are excellent at conveying different ranges of emotion, expressing both soulful and spirited feelings.
