Music For Flute-Carl Friedrich Abel is probably most famous for his initiation along with Johann Christian Bach of the highly sucessful 'Bach-Abel' concert series which continued until 1781. Abel's set of six Flute sonatas Opus 6 was first published in London in 1765. The three movement form of these sonatas was a North German design much favored by King Frederick The Great and there are many such sonatas that follow the same pattern where a slow movement is followed by two quicker ones. In this edition a Continuo part has been provided for Keyboard instruments.

For Tenor Sax And Piano-Charles Gounod's restful melody soars over J.S. Bach's famous prelude. Gonoud was one of France's best composers if a little undervalued at the end of the nineteenth century before his interest in Religious and Sacred compositions waned. This piece is a prime example of his interst in ealier forms of music. This version has been faithfully if not wonderfully arranged for a Tenor saxophone and Piano accompaniment by Duncan Reid. This superb piece will be a suitable challenge for those working at grades 2-3.
