| Added by douglas-brooks-davies, 07 Oct 2011 The Flute Quartet in F (Op. 7, no 1) of the prolific Bohemian composer Johann Baptist Vanhal for flute (or oboe) and string trio is well-known. Typically for this period, the violin is given more prominence than the woodwind soloist. For the present version, therefore, I have observed the usual Flute Choir structure - in which flute 1 attracts the more competent players - by giving flute 1 a fair amount of the violin part, and altering flute 2 (the original violin part) accordingly. There are similar exchanges between alto and bass flute parts (viola and cello). The whole is now a delightful and eminently playable work for flute choir. N.B. If the repeated semiquavers in the Finale - so easy on a string instrument - are too much, please do just play staccato quavers. | |||
