In the 19th century nationalist themes came into fashion. Composers drew on songs and dances from their native lands, working them into paraphrased adaptations, potpourri arrangements and sets of variations or incorporating folk elements from various cultures in their compositions. Flautist Wilhelm Popp (1828-1902), who wrote music for his instrument at every level of difficulty, also took up this popular trend. In this collection seven of his easily playablecompositions have been chosen with musical links to different European countries. Here again Popp shows his ability to distil the essence from musical styles and fashions of his time, setting lyrical and virtuoso passages so well for the instrument that their effectiveness far outweighs any difficulties. The popularity of his pieces for tuition purposes, school concerts or youth music competitions remains undiminished to this day. This edition is essentially based on the first printed versions of these pieces - with just a small number of printing errors and inconsistencies corrected without comment.

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) wrote this TARANTELLE (TARANTELLA), Op. 6 for flute, clarinet, and piano in 1857, and the salon piece showcases the composer's mature style despite his young age, which is not a surprise given his child prodigy status. The zesty work won universal acclaim largely due to a generous and clever ruse from the retired Rossini. Rossini, holding a party in his Parisian solon, invited Saint-Saëns to premiere the piece on April 28, 1857 with Louis Dorus on flute, Adolphe Leroy playing clarinet, and Saint-Saëns at the piano. Rossini pretended that he had written the piece and forced the young composer to sit next to him as the guests all showered praise on Rossini for the new work, only admitting to the party that Saint-Saëns had actually written it when all of the praise had already been given. Saint-Saëns orchestrated the work himself in 1879.
