Added by magataganm, 26 Jul 2012 Louis Spohr (1784-1859) was born in Brunswick Germany and his father was an amateur flutist. In his early years he studied harp but, later changing to violin. In 1860, He married the harpist Dorette Scheidler, who fascinated him by her virtuosic playing. His preoccupation with harp and violin led to the decision to tune the harp a semitone lower. Thus it was possible to play together with the violin in her preferred tonalities without using the harps pedals. During his lifetime he was more famous than Beethoven or Schumann and supported Wagner by playing the Fliegende Holländer in Kassel. His fame being a violin virtuoso was only topped by Paganini. Although "Fantaisie sur des thèmes de Händel et Abbé Vogler" was originally written for Harp and Violin, there were problems with the manuscript in the public domain archive therefore, I arranged it for Flute and Concert (Pedal) Harp.
