Not only had he full understanding of the characteristic of Recorder but also performed it with excellent skill. His works, the Twelve Methodical Sonata, were originally composed for the performance of flute, violin and basso continuo. Soprano Recorder could be directly applied to flute scores, which was initially written by Telemann in Baroque period when one score could be used for the performances of different instruments.

This work has been transposed from its original key of C Major Soprano Recorder to E flat Major to fit the Alto Recorder.
