Tired of the same old arrangements? Want to give your pupils something simple yet rewarding to play? Carol Barratt creates easy pieces that are creative idiomatic simple yet rewarding to play and that will really get pupils listening and performing musically right from the beginning. The pieces in Bravo! Flute take the student progressively through the early grades. They consist mainly of original material with a few arrangements too - some well-known some more unusual. These pieces are intended to encourage the student to perform - rather than merely play - whenever the opportunity arises. All too often the early stages of learning instrument can be a solitaryprocess. Wherever possible these pieces should be played with their keyboard accompaniments. Hearing the keyboard parts will lead to an awareness and appreciation of different musical styles and a sense of harmony not just melody. In addition playing with an accompaniment develops the pupil's ability to maintain his or her own part while listening to another. And of course it's fun! Each collection is scrupulously edited for the instrument by a leading performer.

This volume contains Johann Sebastian Bach's Sonata in B minor for Flute and Harpsichord BWV 1030. The work belongs to the newly created genre of sonata with melody instrument and obbligato harpsichord in which the harpsichord functions as an equal partner rather than simply filling in the figured bass. This is a completely revised volume with an updated DOWANI 3 Tempi Play Along recording of the harpsichord accompaniment at all three tempi. Flute and Harpsichord. 2CDs

Seventeen arrangements of movements from the sonatas partitas and suites of J.S. Bach are intended for private study rather than public performance. Although they were not originally written as Flute music. It should be remembered that Bach's instrumental writing was of a universal nature and he himself considered his music transferable to any instrument.

With this volume we would like to invite you on a little musical journey through two countries during which we will visit many nearby and faraway countries and get to know some of their most popular tunes. This volume offers you the opportunity to play to the accompanying CD. All pieces have been recorded in two versions: complete with flutes and only accompaniment (without flutes). So you can choose the version to which you would rather play along. Have a good journey! We hope that you will enjoy it.
