Magic Flute on Stage-Album for Children?Tomorrow I am going to write a collection of miniatures for children. For some time I have been thinking it would be good to alleviate the dearth of musical literature for children.? (From a letter Tchaikovsky wrote to Nadezhda von Meck on 30 April 1878) Tchaikovsky?s collection of piano pieces for children is subtitled ?Collection of easy pieces in the style of Schumann.? The instruments Pyotr Il?yich Tchaikovsky studied included the flute but he never wrote any music for it. How ever many of the miniatures from the Album for Children suit the flute perfectly - from the expressive and romantic Morning Prayer and Sweet Dream to the moretechnical Mazurka and Neapolitan Song. These touchingly lyrical miniatures and almost virtuosic dance pieces arranged for flute and piano will be loved by young flautists and met with enthusiasm by concert audiences.

Otar Taktakishvili (1924-1989) was a Georgian composer conductor administrator and artistic director who played a leading role in the post-war revival of professional Georgian music. He graduated from the TbilisiConservatory in 1947 having composed the official anthem of the Georgian Republic while still a student and before long he became a professor there. Later in his career he was Chairman of the Georgian Composersâ?? Union andMinister of Culture of the Georgian Republic. Taktakishvili like most Georgian composers of his generation was heavily influenced by local folk music. Georgian choral polyphony is among the oldest in theChristian world and its distinctive techniques are seen in his lyrical and expressive style.In the west Taktakishviliâ??s best known work is perhaps his Sonata For Flute And Piano in C major. This44-page book contains all three movements and comes with a separate Flute score.

This collection of symphony themes contain the best known and beautiful melodies composed by Haydn Mozart Beethoven Schubert Schumann Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Berlioz Franck Brahms Dvorak and Tchaikovsky arranged for theintermediate flutist with piano accompaniment (separate 16 page pull-out for flute).

Flute and Piano. Par LOPEZ ALAIN. Le vent emporte les feuilles jaunies tombées sur les trottoirs, les cafés rentrent tables et chaises... J'évoque ici une balade automnale qu'il est bien difficile de faire tranquillement à Paris. Comment prendre son temps dans cette ville avec tant de rues à traverser (phrases musicales de 3 mesures), tant de voitures ou de bus à esquiver (départs des phrases musicales sur le 2ème temps). Certes, les vendeurs de marrons font leur apparition aux bouches de métro, mais comment ne pas presser le pas comme les autres (thème B) pour 'attraper' le métro... ' - Alain LOPEZ / Niveau : Facile à Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano
