Divertimento Für Fünf Blockflöten

Composer:	Sammartini (1693-1751)
Editor:	Hans U. Staeps	Quintet:	Descant/Descant/Treble/Tenor/Bass
Publisher:	Ludwig Doblinger K.G.	Publication:	D. 13. 629

This item was in the repertoires of both The Schwanewede Recorder Consort and The Vegesack Double Quartet. It is just about achievable with competent beginners and care has to be taken with the descant voices for potential "squeakiness". As a tenor player, I always had qualms in the opening Allegro where a bit of one-bar virtuosity is called for. The Allegro is followed by an Adagio and Presto. On the whole, a charming piece for my taste.
