Adagio for flute (or violin) and piano. Péter Wolf's collection Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, published in 2018, referring to the series The Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach, contains 24 piano pieces, a major and a minor key composition based on each pitch of the chromatic scale. The ninth piece, an Adagio in E major, is one of the gems in the volume, building on the tradition of the Baroque pastorale. This soaring melody has been arranged by the composer to a duet: above the piano accompaniment, it can be performed by a violin or a flute (either by an oboe or other melodic instrument).

Pièceby Gabriel Fauré is a piece for Flute Oboe or Violin with Piano accompaniment. This romantic piece in A only features one movement. Small it is really melodious and quite slow: “Adagio molto tranquillo”. Rated as quite difficult upper-intermediate players will enjoy playing it for recitals. The book includes an insert with the instrument only part. Gabriel Fauré was a French composer organist pianist and teacher. He is one of the most important composers of his generation with pieces such as 'Pavane' or 'Requiem'.

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.

Arranged for Piano and Flute-Cesar Franck’s Sonata for Piano and Violin is one of the most treasured works in the Violin repertoire a masterpiece of cyclic form with a gracefulness and expressive force almost paradigmatic for the age of musical Romanticism. This work was composed in 1886 and was dedicated to the Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe.After Franck’s death in 1890 the original publisher of the Sonata the Parisian house Julien Hamelle announced an arrangement of the work for Flute in 1910. However it has not been possible to locate any copy of this publication. That the Flute version of Franck’s Sonata has found a permanent place in the chamber musicrepertoire is primarily the achievement of Jean-Pierre Rampal who frequently performed his own arrangement of the work.There were no idiomatic Violin techniques to overcome and the cantabile solo part with its broadly arched melodies seems perfectly natural on a wind instrument. The present Flute arrangement largely adopts the original Violin part unchanged merely transposing those passages that go beneath the Flute’s range. In such cases the change of register begins early enough to avoid disruptions to the melodic line and the musical context. The balance between the solo instrument and the (unaltered) Piano accompaniment remains intact.The edition is rounded off by an informative text on the genesis and reception history of the sonata (Ger/Fr/Eng).

PAUL WETZGER (1870-1937) was a German flutist composer born in Dahme near Lübeck. At a young age he took violin lessons from the local music director later switching to flute. By 15 years of age Wetzger had played his first concert in the main church of Dahmen and was second flutist of the municipal orchestra. He later became solo flutist with the municipal orchestra of Essen and taught at the Essen conservatory. He wrote numerous pieces for flute and several chamber music works also editing works by the French composer/flutist Jules Demersseman. Wetzger's Am Waldesbach (By the Forest Brook) ideally for flute and orchestra or piano was a staple of celebrated flutistMarcel Moyse recorded by him in 1935 on the French Columbia label. Since then it has become a favorite in the flute teaching repertory perhaps most notably included Toshio Takahashi's famous Suzuki Flute Method. This Southern Music edition faithfully captures this classic piece as performed by living legend of the flute Sir James Galway.

The instantly recognisable and ever-popular Méditation from the opera Thaïs by Jules Massenet (1842-1912) remains a strong favourite in the classical repertoire superbly arranged for Flute and Piano by French flautist Paul Taffanel. Massenet first studied music with his mother before entering the Paris Conservatoire. He is best known for his operas of which he composed over thirty. Thaïs was first performed at the Opéra Garnier in Paris in 1894 and continues to be one of the composer's most performed operas. The famous Méditation isan intermezzo originally for Violin and Orchestra which has since been arranged for many different instruments making it a frequent concert piece. The arrangement for Flute and Piano remains in the original key of D major and displays the passionate religious intentions. Taffanel's adaptions include breath marks phrasing changing octaves for some notes and articulation among other aspects. Massenet's Méditation is challenging through its use of lyricism in the upper register yet it remains a favoured and popular piece in the Flute's repertoire.

The Romance for a melodic instrument and Piano was a very popular genre in French salon music of the nineteenth century. Saint-Saëns also wrote several such pieces for Violin Cello and Horn. His only Romance for Flute was composed in 1871 shortly after the Société nationale de musique had been founded. It was premiered in this new forum for Piano music and chamber works a year later too. In spite of its brevity the piece contains numerous harmonic and melodic refinements which rapidly made it popular among flautists both in the original setting with Piano accompaniment as well as in the later orchestral version. The Henle Urtext edition is the firstcritical edition of this piece which is also very popular with learners of the Flute.

Johann Pachabel’s Canon in D Major more commonly known as Pachelbel’s Canon has been wonderfully arranged for Flute and Piano by Tony Santorella. A favourite for chamber ensembles and musicians its charmand tonal quality have meant that it is more popular than Pachelbel’s other larger more impressive works. It is often played slower than Baroque conventions making a thoughtful beautiful and relaxing piece. With separateparts for Flute and Piano but is also suitable for Violin and all C instruments.

Now seen as part of the 19th century aesthetic primacy of 'Bel Canto' great works for voice were frequently arranged for solo instruments a practice that became increasingly popular as the tone and capabilities of the instruments could draw performers ever closer to the characteristics of the human voice.Performer and composer Leopold Jansa originally arranged Schubert's celebrated Winterreise for Violin and Piano with alternative parts for Flute and Cello. This edition presents Jansa's complete Flute version in ten movements with the full original Piano accompaniment.
