COMPOSER'S NOTE The solo flute piece Solo III consists of two contrasting movements. the slow first movement was a commission from the Cruselk Week Music Festival in Uusikaupunki Finland for the Scandinavian Flute Competition held there in August 1990. The first movement was a complusory piece at the competition. This movement is like a single endless melody and it tests the sound quality of the flautist and his/her ability to create long melodic phrases and a long continuous musical form. The whole movement is based on a quarter-tone scale. After finishing the first movement in January 1990 I decided to write a second fast movement for Solo III.A year later in January 1991 I composed the technically very demanding and virtuoso second movement Presto. The Presto flows in a very fast perpetual motion in semiquavers. The movement begins mysteriously in the lower register of the flute and gradually the music moves towards the upper register. At the same time the texture becomes more complex with hidden polyphony. The second movement culminates in a wild prestissimo. The complete Solo III was premiered by the Finnish flautist Tapio Jalas in Helsinki on April 14 1991.

3- und 4-stimmige Kanons. Par SCHMITZ MANFRED. Canons are fun and at the same time also help develop the ability to listen and play along, thus making them an important enhancement to musical training. With 109 pop style melodies in two volumes Manfred Schmitz work provides comprehensive and diversified material which can be flexibly implemented in teaching single pupils, for group lessons and for ensemble classes. The instruments violin, viola, violoncello and flute can thus stay „among themselves“ or play music together in all imaginable instrumental combinations. 3/4 part Particularly designed for performance in groups and ensembles, the demands grow with the addition of voices and the growing diversity of timbres. As withthe two-voiced canons, also the three and four-voiced canons can with the help of the universal versions be played in all thinkable combinations of instruments up to the various chamber music ensembles. / Niveau : Débutant à Intermédiaire / Contemporary - Solos / Recueil / Flûte Traversière
