14 Middle-Grade Duets From The Last Four Centuries. With so many young flautists in the musical world today it is only natural to pair them up and give them some wonderful duets to play. It's amazing what 'big” music, these two small instruments can cope with - indeed, in the eighteenth century the flute duet was almost the gramophone record of the time as countless operatic arias were brought to the public in arrangements for this pairing. This book draws on some of those miniaturizations, from Mozart's and Weber's operas, coupled with earlier music from Telemann and Boismortier and rounded off with more modern pieces from Richard Rodney Bennett and a (specially written) piece by Holzeis-Augustin which introduces some contemporary music techniques. All these duets are great fun and well within the reach of intermediate players. Intermediate-level compositions and arrangements of music from Telemann and Mozart to Richard Rodney Bennett Includes a lively composition by Maria Holzeis-Augustin All duets are suitable as concert pieces and for competitions/ Recueil / 2 Flûtes Traversières

Par BARTOK BELA. For many countries, folk dances are important cultural treasures. While a first glance at these compositions shows their clear and simple structure with a distinct musical message, a closer look reveals rhythmic curiosities, interesting harmonic shifts, and a diverse expressive range. These characteristics must have enthralled Bartók, as he undertook several research trips to collect original folk tunes. Doing so, he experienced a wealth of culture, as well as a great diversity of people and nature, which he documented musically without altering the charm and authenticity of each encounter. Following a number of arrangements of the pieces (originally composed for piano), the Romanian Folk Dances are now available for Flute and Piano. Gergely Ittzé has captured the spirit of the Hungarian composer perfectly with his arrangements, combining an authentic treatment of the classical original with a sprinkle of contemporary elements. The resulting sound effects are a wonderful match for the old Rumanian peasant style of music. ? Style and atmosphere have been captured in six colourful duo movements of intermediate to more advanced difficulty ? These dances with such diverse melodies, rhythms and origins make sophisticated and entertaining concert pieces ? Elementary pedagogical topics such as technique, meter, harmony, and articulation are addressed within authentic pieces of musical art/ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Par CUI CESAR. Russian composer, Cesar Cui (1835-1918) was a member of 'The Five', a group of Russian composers dedicated to the production of a specifically Russian type of music. His 1916 composition for Flute and Piano, Scherzetto, also incorporates Russian characteristics. Cui composed for all genres, however, his style was often compared to Robert Schumann or Charles Gounod, rather than his Russian contemporaries, such as Mikhali Glinka. Whilst retaining nationalistic characteristics, Scherzetto makes use of a variety of musical features, including differing articulation, chromaticism, wide leaps and scalicpassages. For all intermediate flautists, Cui 's Scherzetto provides an exciting, chirpy and varied addition to the repertoire./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano
