Concerto IX. Woodcock’s only surviving musical compositions are a set of twelve concertos (3 for flute, 3 for recorder, and 3 for oboe) published by Walsh and Hare in London circa 1727. The concertos were originally published under the title: XII Concertos. The three flute concertos in this set are the earliest known published for that instrument, and the three oboe concertos are the first known by an English composer. Vivaldi published his opus 10 flute concertos shortly thereafter, in c.1728, and the earliest oboe concertos were published by the Italian composer Albinoni in 1715.This Concerto is available in two versions:C504Piano ReductionKeyboard score (Piano/Harpsichord)with Flute partC505 (this version)Full Score and PartsIncludes score and set of parts for Flute, Violin 1 & 2 and VioloncelloThe Optional Basso Continuo Part is available to downloadfrom www.CliftonEdition.com/C504Grades 4–5Former Spartan Press Cat.

“With music for Flute Quartets being most commonly rearranged for the ensemble, it is unusual that a work is originally composed for that precise instrumentation. It is for that reason that Pierre Max Dubois' Quatuor for Flutes has been considerably well-received. As a student of Darius Milhaud, Dubois brought ideas of Les Six, of which Milhaud was a member, into the mid-1900s. Dubois' compositions are characteristically light with interesting and unusual harmonic and melodic textures, as conveyed in this Quatuor for Flutes. With all four parts being technically demanding, exploiting extended techniques to the maximum, this piece provides a challenging but enjoyable performance. Moreover, including a full score and separate parts, this edition is ideal. With few pieces for this instrumentation exisitng as original compositions, all Flute Quartets must ensure they try out Dubois' enticing four-movement piece. â€.

The most important prerequisite for success in studying the instrument is the ability to practise in a meaningful and rational manner - i. e. to aim at a steady progress through regular and purposeful application, with the least possible expenditure of time and energy. One can only be sure of making improvement when one practises daily, and as one improves so confidence grows and there is a proper basis for success. In this connection it should always be noted that the choice and the demands of individual exercises in respect of range and difficulty of technique and musicality should refer to the standard attained at the relevant time. In the whole curriculum the study has a very important place. In that it is by way of being and exercise, it deals with particular problems of playing in different compositional guises, and shows the necessary link between purely technical and mechanical matter and the literature (including that for concert use) of the instrument. When beginning work on a study the first thing to do is to determine the central problem posed by the composer. For this reason the study should first be read through so that the contents may be grasped and the transference of notes into sound as far as possible be accomplished. Breathing marks are to be put in at appropriate places. Then the study can be played through in slow time, with exact control of all the parts of the body involved in order to avoid inexactness.76 etudes for daily practice.
