Quantz was a noted German flautist, composer, writer on music and flute maker. "In May 1728 Quantz, Pisendel, Buffardin and others accompanied Augustus II on a state visit to Berlin. Quantz made a particularly deep impression on Prince Frederick, and returned to the Prussian court twice a year to teach him the flute. When Augustus II died in 1733, Quantz was not allowed to transfer to Berlin; but his autobiography suggests that he would not have wanted to give up the active musical life at the Saxon court for a tenuous one under Prince Frederick. Instead he continued to serve under Augustus III, dedicating to him the op.1 Sei sonate for flute and continuo (1734)." Edward R. Reilly, revised by Andreas Giger in Grove Music Online.
