Two Miniatures For Flute And Piano is a pair of short pieces from the late classical period carefully arranged as performance solos for the Flute with Piano. Beethovenâ??s Sonata In B Flat wascomposed ca. 1790 and is one of the very few pieces that he wrote for the Flute. The Rondo In E Minor was written in 1810 by Mozartâ??s youngest son Franz Xaver Wolfgang who often struggled to gain recognition on his ownmerits during his lifetime. Two Miniatures has been arranged by Louis Moyse (1912-2007) a noted French flautist pianist composer music editor and pedagogue. Raised in Paris he was educatedby his father Marcel also a famous flautist but spent most of his working life in North America.

Ernesto Köhler's fantastic Flute Concerto Op. 97 actually requires the accompaniment of a large orchestra. The orchestral material is available on hire with Musikverlag Zimmermann. The Concerto is characterized mainly by the high virtuosity. The audience in the early 20th century loved the display of technical possibilities of a musical instrument. Ernesto Köhler himself was regarded as unsurpassed in the clean interpretation of his work and the fine tone he coaxed from the flute. His Concerto was frequently performed by leading soloists in Europe and America in his time.

This inspiring collection of seasonal music tells the tale of the men and women who braved a rough ocean crossing to come to America from Northern Ireland full of hope and strength. Includes a wide range of music from spirited jigs to touching melodies arranged for flute and piano with a separate pull-out section for the flautist.

This piece was originally written for Violin and Piano and if the 'New World' Symphony and the 'American' String Quartet are the best-known products of Anton n Dvorak's years in the United States the little Sonatina in G major(sometimes called the 'Indian Lament' Sonatina) may well be the most obscure; yet it is a charming work that deserves better than its relegation to the learning books of young violinists. The Sonatina is in four movements:Allegro risoluto Larghetto Scherzo (molto vivace) and Allegro. The first movement's principal tune has a firm rhythmic spine its second tune a gentle plaintiveness; there is just a hint of Americanfolk music in the movement.The following Larghetto earned the Sonatina its nickname. The succession of its three melodies - one in G minor one in B flat major and one in G major - has to it the same wistfulness and thesame sudden brightening and then softening of mood that we hear in the famous slow movement of the 'New World' Symphony.The Scherzo takes the very first gesture of the Allegro risoluto as its starting-point. The finale isa substantial sonata-allegro movement with three wonderful themes: the opening syncopated idea in G major a subsidiary thought in E minor very dancelike and built around a repeating marcato cell and finally a rich tranquillomelody that closes the exposition. This adaptation for Flute and Piano by James Galway conveys all the spirit of the original.
