This second volume of flute pieces, too, is based on today's flute teaching practice, containing arrangements from the classical repertoire as well as own compositions by Gü.nther Johannes Schmitz. The pieces are quite different with regard to style, partly influenced by jazz, Impressionism, world music or film music. 'Das Mä.usefest' contains stylistic elements of Jewish music, 'Zyklop' combines oriental and impressionist sounds. 'Fanfare der Gaukler', however, evokes medieval sound associations mixed with modern playing techniques on the flute. 'Ragtime Holiday' and 'The Conquerer' were inspired by the King of Ragtime, Scott Joplin. A jazz version of Rimsky-Korsakov's 'The Flight of the Bumble Bee' is an interesting encore and contained herein as is Bach's Badinerie. Some of the pieces have already been performed at the competition 'Jugend musiziert' and have proven a success.

Jean-Louis Tulou, a pupil of Johann Georg Wunderlich, was one of the leading flautists of his time: he was principal flautist at the opera and a professor at the Conservatoire. His pupils included legendary flautists such as Henri Altes, Jules Demersseman and Eugene Walckiers. He composed over 130 flute pieces and wrote a flute tutorial method. He forbade his students to play the newly constructed flute designed by Theobald Bohm and even made a few adaptations to the traditional flute himself. Only after his retirement in 1856 could the Bohm flute that is familiar today come in to use under his successor Dorus. This Air varie brillant op. 98 was published in collaboration by Brandus &. Cie, Paris and Schott, Mainz. An alternative setting of the accompaniment for chamber ensemble (two violins, viola, cello, double bass, two oboes, two horns and two bassoons) is only listed by Brandus. .
