Composer's NoteOut Of The Cool was my first work and inspired by the music of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. It was originally written for the flute but may equally well be played on the violin cello or sopranosaxophone.The piece is in three sections - slow/fast/slow. I have not marked many dynamics or phrasings and those shown are suggestions only. The slow sections in particular should be very free rhythmically and eachperformer should feel free to interpret the piece in his own way. The pedalling marks however are more specific as I have used them to show how notes and chords are to be sustained. Some of the blurred effects may seem strangeat first but this pedalling is essential to the style of the piece. Above all Out Of The Cool was written to be enjoyed so have fun with it!David Heath.

Jindrich Feld's Sonata for Flute and Piano is frequently performed by virtuoso flautists. Composed in 1957 the Sonata is elaborate and quirky and has been recorded by leading artists including Jeffrey Khaner and James Galway. Born in Prague Feld (1925-2007) studied Violin and Viola with his parents before studying at the Conservatory and Academy of Music of his native city. His compositions predominantly instrumental soon became popular being performed all over the world. As reflected in his Sonata for Flute and Piano Feld's style is deeply rooted in the Czech musicaltradition but he also integrated the main styles of 20th century Western music. The Sonata is made up of three movements 1. Giocoso (playful) 2. Grave (serious) and 3. Vivace (lively). Each movement of the Sonata presents different challenges from fast semiquaver flourishes to the lyrical top register of the Flute. This Feld piece is highly virtuosic yet an excellent and enjoyable performance for all advanced flautists.

3- und 4-stimmige Kanons. Par SCHMITZ MANFRED. Canons are fun and at the same time also help develop the ability to listen and play along, thus making them an important enhancement to musical training. With 109 pop style melodies in two volumes Manfred Schmitz work provides comprehensive and diversified material which can be flexibly implemented in teaching single pupils, for group lessons and for ensemble classes. The instruments violin, viola, violoncello and flute can thus stay „among themselves“ or play music together in all imaginable instrumental combinations. 3/4 part Particularly designed for performance in groups and ensembles, the demands grow with the addition of voices and the growing diversity of timbres. As withthe two-voiced canons, also the three and four-voiced canons can with the help of the universal versions be played in all thinkable combinations of instruments up to the various chamber music ensembles. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Contemporary - Solos / Recueil / Flûte Traversière

The selection of easy to intermediate standard has been made by Patrick Steinbach; the pieces range in style from the Corelli-influenced 'Carolan's Concerto' through the rumbustious 'Carolan's quarrel with the landlady' to the composer's moving final air 'Carolan's dream'. Arrangements for flute (violin oboe) and keyboard with optional cello or bassoon are by Jeremy Barlow who has edited three other volumes in 'Baroque Around the World' of English French and Swedishmusic.

per flauto archi e cembalo RV 441 (F.VI. No. 11 P.V. 440)-The source of the present edition of the Recorder Concerto in C minor by Antonio Vivaldi is the Collected Works of Vivaldi edited by Malipiero published by Ricordi 1953. The title of the original score is 'Concerto in Do minore per flauto archi e cembalo'; the original setting: Flauto Violini I-II Viole Violoncelli Contrabassi and Cembalo. The arrangement for recorder and piano is kept in accurate conformity with the musical text of the score; the continuo part however has been more freely adapted (of course within the possibilities of baroque style). In contrast to previous arrangements the piano part contains the entire orchestral material in the Tuttis thus the soloist is not obliged to play all the Tutti parts. However in Movement I and III the first and last Tutti may never be omitted by the performer.
