Flute Sonata in A major, BWV 1032

__NOTOC__

The Sonata in A major for transverse flute and harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach (BWV 1032) is a sonata in three movements:

Unusually, the second movement is written in the parallel minor (A minor), rather than the relative minor (F minor) or another closely related key.

The autograph dates to around the 1730s (debated) and is incomplete; there are 46 bars missing. Reconstructions by various authors exist.
