About "Bach, CPE: Flute Sonata in G Minor: II. Adagio (Formerly Attributed to JS Bach as BWV 1020)" by Aurèle Nicolet

CPE Bach’s Adagio is a sigh in slow motion—Nicolet’s flute hangs on each note like a raindrop on a leaf, the accompaniment a distant thunder. The music is poised between Baroque ornament and proto-Romantic ache, a beautiful unease dressed in courtly garb.
