I just went to SheetMusicPlus and searched for solo recorder and found all sorts of stuff.

also look for "Flute a Bec". that's another term for a recorder

there should be loads of stuff. Vivaldi, Purcell, Monteverdi...they all wrote for the instrument. I believe even modern composers like Hindemith and Britton wrote for recorder. maybe not recorder solo, but its still worth a look.

failing all that, I know you said "serious" music, but look at Irish and Scottish aires, too. Some of those make nice solo pieces

Thanks! I will definitely check the Irish tunes out.

Yes, the literature for Baroque recorder is vast (concerti, sonata, trio sonata etc), but I am looking for unaccompanied pieces, something at the level of Bach's BWV 1013 for flute (which has been successfully transcribed for treble recorder, for example:

), or Telemann's Fantasia (

). However, I also understand that unaccompanied works for arguably more famous instruments, like the violin and the cello, are also rare, thus I will happily stay focus on a small but in high-quality solo works, which have been featured by artists like Brüggen and Petri.

P/S: not that I am that good to solo such challenging works. I just try to set a high goal

That's the spirit, reach for the top, nothing less.

 

There are also a lot of great contemporary recorder pieces out there if you are interested!
we have a lot of old and new original recorder literature but nothing in between or at least not a lot
