The Sonata for Solo Flute in A minor, Wq.132, H 562, is a sonata for flute, without Basso Continuo or accompanying instruments, composed by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The sonata is considered, along with Telemann's Fantasias for Solo Flute and J. S. Bach's A minor partita, one of the most significant works for unaccompanied flute before the 20th century. It is the sole flute work by Bach that was printed and published during his lifetime. No manuscript of it has been discovered.

Movements:All movements are written in rounded-binary form.

First movement (Poco adagio) Meter: 3/8
The first movement, marked Poco adagio, has a similar style as J. S. Bach's similar works.
The movement starts with a scalar theme, which itself expresses sadness. Inside it, there are some "half-step" motifs, which represent tear, and it begins with some slurs, adding in the momentum of the work.

Second movement (Allegro) Meter: 2/4
The second movement is seen by some as developing several mid-century elements about Allegro movements. With a seasoning of wide leaps and swift modulations, some think it is again closer to some of J.S.Bach's compositions.

Third movement (Allegro) Meter: 3/8
The final movement is faster and more difficult than the other two.
The movement has the slowest harmonic line and less chromaticism than elsewhere in the work. However, it also deploys the most technical features.
