Louis Moyse's previously published Short And Easy Pieces For The Flute is among the top sellers from any publisher for flute. This set Opus 44 continues in the spirit of the earlier work.

In Impulso Jean Guillou regards the flute as a person who appears and asks a short, yet compelling question in front of the public. This question is followed by a statement. And when the question is asked again, it is again followed by this statement, and the whole development of this work happens through increasingly precise paraphrases to which new ideas are added which are presented like a lyrical development and like a constant amplification.All gestures, all attacks or caresses of breath and lips multiply only with the aim of lending more richness and more substance as well as more reason to this initial question and statement. With the weight given to the more eloquent deductions and developments, the discourse comes to an end, while returning, as if in conclusion, again and again to this short and final statement from the beginning.Thus, the impulse and breath of the flute is expressed - eloquent and passionate - between paraphrase, exposition and clarification. / Flûte

Flute Edition Book/Cd Set-The non-jazz improvisation series is a concept that germinated in Dick Weissman's mind while he was attending music school. He wrote a 15-piece arrangement of the old square dance tune Cripple Creek and wanted the trombone totake a solo as part of the arrangement. When the trombonist kept playing a bebop solo that was totally unsuitable for the chart Dick realized that - in addition to the many musicians who do not improvise - there are even jazzmusicians who don't know how to improvise outside the limits of their own stylistic backgrounds. The non-jazz improvisation series mostly includes new original tunes that are intended to show how to improvise in many musicalstyles including; Blues Country American folk Latin-American World music including South American Eastern European and Asian Odd meters (playing in a variety of time signatures) New Age Classical Folk-Rock In short the books are an encyclopedia of virtually every musical style excluding jazz.
