An effective piece by Paul Lewis ranging between romantic and jazz which in places is reminiscent of circus music! Originally composed for mouth Organ this popular little work has now been arranged for Flute with Piano accompaniment.

Arranged for Piano and Flute-Cesar Franck’s Sonata for Piano and Violin is one of the most treasured works in the Violin repertoire a masterpiece of cyclic form with a gracefulness and expressive force almost paradigmatic for the age of musical Romanticism. This work was composed in 1886 and was dedicated to the Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe.After Franck’s death in 1890 the original publisher of the Sonata the Parisian house Julien Hamelle announced an arrangement of the work for Flute in 1910. However it has not been possible to locate any copy of this publication. That the Flute version of Franck’s Sonata has found a permanent place in the chamber musicrepertoire is primarily the achievement of Jean-Pierre Rampal who frequently performed his own arrangement of the work.There were no idiomatic Violin techniques to overcome and the cantabile solo part with its broadly arched melodies seems perfectly natural on a wind instrument. The present Flute arrangement largely adopts the original Violin part unchanged merely transposing those passages that go beneath the Flute’s range. In such cases the change of register begins early enough to avoid disruptions to the melodic line and the musical context. The balance between the solo instrument and the (unaltered) Piano accompaniment remains intact.The edition is rounded off by an informative text on the genesis and reception history of the sonata (Ger/Fr/Eng).

Emmanuel Pahud Presents. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Flutists will enjoy this arrangement of Brahms’s “Sonata Opus 120, no. 1” in F minor, as they can present their instrument’s full range of tonal colours. Throughout four movements of different character, the flute is in intensive dialogue with its instrumental partner. In a singing, sensitive, tender, dance-like, cheerful and thoroughly humorous manner, both instrumentalists present romantic compositional art in its most perfect form. Listeners will thus experience a lively performance on stage./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Description Arranged with a newly composed Finale by Louis Moyse. The Viennese triumvirate Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn does not include Schubert despite the wealth of music he composed in his short life. His early Romantic style juxtaposes lyrical melodies with exciting drama throughout his compositions. Although originally composed for piano, this arrangement is as equally charming and musically effective. Songlist Impromptu In B Flat

Riduzione per flauto e pianoforte - revisione di Ginevra Petrucci-Giulio Briccialdi (1818-1881) has been one of the major European flutists of the Nineteenth Century. Praised by coeval critics as ?the first among the living flutists? in a period when virtuosos were reaching extraordinary levels Briccialdi was a unique artist with a quintessentially Romantic personality. His refined activity as a composer is nowadays mostly known thanks to his paraphrases on operatic themes and to his didactic output but it is through his concertos ? a real cornerstone in the instrumental virtuosic repertoire of the 1800s ? that Briccialdi exploits the pinnacle of his opera-influenced style. Briccialdi?s concertos are intended for technically and stylisticallyadvanced performers.
