Description The 'Sonata d'arpeggione' was originally written for the guitarre d'amour or arpeggione - a kind of enlarged guitar that could be bowed cello-style. The instrument did not survive longer than a few years, but this piece by Schubert is a lovely reminder. This edition is transcribed for flute by James Galway and edited by Phillip Moll for the Great Performer's Edition series. The opening Allegro Moderato is built around a wistful melody. A second theme proceeds in gentle gusts of semiquavers (the arpeggione could not play fast notes with much volume at all, and so the Sonata's quicker portions are almost always marked piano or pianissimo). The Adagio is a rich but introverted musing on an almost hymn-like subject, at the end Schubert invites the soloist to improvise a brief transition into the final, multi-sectioned Allegretto .

Variations on 'Trockne Blumen' for the Flute Edited by Trevor Wye from a New Series of Famous Masterpieces.

Description Arranged with a newly composed Finale by Louis Moyse. The Viennese triumvirate Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn does not include Schubert despite the wealth of music he composed in his short life. His early Romantic style juxtaposes lyrical melodies with exciting drama throughout his compositions. Although originally composed for piano, this arrangement is as equally charming and musically effective. Songlist Impromptu In B Flat

The Hungarian Pastoral Fantasy is one of the most frequently played pieces by flautists. A beautiful and challenging piece with a very evocative use of descriptive melodies and unusual textures. Edited by Trevor Wye.Includes score and part.

Schubert’s music is impervious to the passage of time and the Arpeggione Sonata with its ethereal beauty has become one of the immortal treasures of the chamber music repertoire. This has led to the unique situation of a major work of art existing for an instrument that has long been extinct.- Urtext of the New Schubert Edition
