Susan Milan acclaimed soloist and teacher has edited this elegant edition.SusanMilan writes....'I discovered the charming Popp Sonatinas Op. 388 while researching 19th century flute repertoire in the British Museum Library. They were first published in Hamburg in 1888. These beautifully crafted works are all without exception a delight to play and suitable for a broad level of player. They are a lovely example of Classical style and detailed in a way that makes them a joy to perform and as they are less than 10 minutes long they are a perfect addition to a short recital programme. In editing the Sonatinas I have tidied some of the articulation making the flute part consistent. Discrepancies between markings in the flute and piano part have been corrected. I have occasionally added some slurs where I feel the lyrical nature of a section might be enhanced shown as 'dotted' slurs. Where staccati appear to be missing I have added them. I have not on the whole added expression marks. I have not changed or removed original markings.'

The Undine Sonata for Flute and Piano is one of the few works by the composer Carl Reinecke which is regularly performed even today and is at the same time one of the few Romantic repertoire pieces for transverse Flute. Although not obviously programme music at first glance and sometimes even questioned as such by contemporaries the work nevertheless falls back on the Undine subject which was a popular Opera theme in the 19th century. The Wiener Urtext Edition now presents a new publication of the work which closely follows the text of the original edition (unfortunately manuscript sources are not extant). The notes oninterpretation follow the tracks of the extra-musical programme trying to bring the work and its interpretative understanding into close connection with the Undine subject.
