Le Petit Negre was originally composed by Claude Debussy (1862-1918) in 1909. The purpose was to write a great work that could also played by children. Jan Merry made the piece even more accessible at the beginning of the 20th Century by arranging it for Flute and Piano. Le Petit Negre is marked Allegro and begins with a theme modelled on ragtime music a style which was very popular at the time of composition. Jazz influences the C major key signature 2/4 meter and upbeat features make for an exciting and accessible piece for all flautists and pianists. Merry's arrangement ofDebussy's Le Petit Negre is a thrilling addition to the repertoire.

Composed between 1920 and 1921 this set of Histoires is a suite of four short movements by Jacques Ibert selected out of the ten initial ones for Flute and Piano. This publication was commissioned by the Alphonse Leduc editors and increased Jacques Ibert’s popularity. This four pieces are as followed : 3. Le vieux mendiant (The old beggar) 4. “A Giddy girl” 6. Le palais abandonné (The abandoned palace) 7. Bajo la mesa (Under the table) The difficulty of these works will fit intermediate to upper intermediate players. Jacques Ibert(1890-1962) also composed many symphonic suites operas and seven orchestras including 'Angelique' (1926) and 'Entertainment' (1930). He also was in charge of the French Academy in the Villa Médicis (Roma) and became later administrator for the Paris Opera.

Between the late 19th century and the early 1960s French music experienced a Golden Age during which the flute played a prominent role: this age-old instrument played by fauns and shepherds spun numerous arabesques whose sensuous contours seemed to celebrate ?the mysterious connections between nature and the imagination? (Debussy). It was therefore quite tempting to draw on the rich catalogue of French works from the Editions Leduc and Heugel and put together this collection of pieces for flautists in the fourth year of study and up. It?s simply impossible to resist the compelling lyricism that floats up from such celebrated pages asFauré?s Sicilienne or the Pièce en forme de Habanera a composition by Ravel superbly transcribed by Theodore Doney. Philippe Gaubert?s Orientale and Sicilienne ? two bestsellers ? are also included. Original pieces such as the Aria for flute and piano by Roussel rub shoulders with delightful arrangements such as the one by Marcel Moyse based on Jacques Ibert?s gentle Histoires or the successful adaptation of Hahn?s À Chloris; while famous pieces ? like Debussy?s Le Petit Nègre ? nestle against a few rare gems (Pierné Bozza) that are utterly charming.

Exploiting the Flute to its full potential  Fantaisie Italienne is an exciting and challenging addition to the advanced flautist's repertoire. From cadenza passages to a delightful 6/8 melody this piece by French composer Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) covers a huge variety of the Flute's possibilities. The piece begins with an emotional characterised cadenza covering a wide range. This leads dramatically into a 6/8 section accompanied by broken chords in the piano before ending with a quirky and lively 2/4 secton. Bozza's Fantaisie Italienne for Flute and Piano is not only symbolic but also includes exciting challenges making for an imperative performance piece in the Flute repertoire.

Composer Pierre Camus (1885-1948) is little known today. However his Chanson and Badinerie is a sublime addition to the Flute's repertoire and proves to be an exciting yet challenging piece for performers. Camus' piece for Flute and Piano accompaniment is in two movements. Chanson (Song) is composed in 6/8 meter and reflects French romantic characteristics in its use of lyrical melodies use of the lower register of the Flute and chromaticism. The Badinerie contrasts with this with a faster tempo 2/4 meter chordal Piano accompaniment and scalic semiquaver flourishes. All of theseelements combine in Camus' Chanson and Badinerie to make for an exciting addition to the advanced flautist's repertoire.

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.

With a huge range of repertoire existing for the Flute Italian composer Alfredo Casella's Sicilienne et Burlesque stands out as an extremely evocative and inspiring piece composed notably as WWI broke out across Europe. Having studied at the Paris Conservatoire from 1896 under the direction of Gabriel Fauré >i>Casella received an exceedingly high standard of education. His clear compositional ability and understanding of the Flute is portrayed in his Sicilienne et Burlesque through the use of advanced Flute techniques and brilliant ensemble devices exploiting the duet between Flute and Piano. TheSicilienne is in a slow compound time significantly contrasted by the light and comedic Burlesque. These aspects combine to create an enjoyable and challenging piece for advanced flautists.
