In preparation for Carol Wincenc's landmark Naumburg Award Recital at New York's Lincoln Center she asked composer Daniel Paget to create a work drawn from the world of wonderful Romanian folk music for nai or panpipes. The result was Romania! Fantasy for Flute and Piano a duet suggestive of both the nai and the cimbalom (hammered dulcimer). The work is a brilliant tip-of-the-hat to Wincenc's Austro-Hungarian heritage and her inner tzigane-style temperament. Great care has been taken to select dynamics and articulations that allow the phrases to make the best use of the flute's capabilities given the rich harmonic language typical of this part of the world. Filled withmeltingly beautiful lyricism and dazzling technical gestures this new edition is bound to bring years of enjoyment to all those who have it.

Fantasy-In Ireland is a wonderful fantasy for Flute and Piano composed in 1915 by respected and renowned Irish musician Sir Hamilton Harty.

André Jolivet (1905-1974) established his love for composition from a young age. This remained throughout his life and he held the post of Professor of Composition from 1966-1970 at the Paris Conservatoire. Fantaisie Caprice for Flute and Piano was published in 1954 and remains highly regarded. Jolivet himself a cellist wished to explore composition for all instruments and therefore has a considerable number of works in all fields. The composer's style is also known for its spirituality and the desire to associate the everyday with the magical and the human with the universal. Jolivet draws on acoustics andatonality as heard in his Caprice Fantasy. The piece requires advanced skills due to its use of complex rhythms and exploited tonality. For all advanced flautists Jolivet provides an exciting alternative piece for the instrument's repertoire.

Giulio Briccialdi's Rigoletto Fantasy Op.106 for Flute with Piano accompaniment as edited by Henner Eppel.

LUX NORDICA que l'on pourrait traduire par aurore boréale est un recueil qui porte bien son nom. En effet, de nombreux compositeurs scandinaves ont écrits une quantité considérable de pièces où prédominent l'élégance des motifs, le plaisir de l'interprétation et de l'écoute, la mise en valeur du timbre. Contenu: Romance Op. 26 (Svedsen, Johan); Intermezzo (Grieg, Edvard); Novellette from Aquarellen (Water Colors) Op. 19 N° 9 (Gade, Niels); Old Melody - Alte Weise Op. 89 N° 2 (Sinding, Christian); Humoresque from Fantasy Pieces Op. 2 N° 2 (Nielsen, Carl August); Romance in E minor Op. 30 (Sinding, Christian); Last Spring from Elegiac Melodies Op. 34 N° 2 (Grieg, Edvard).

Adapted and based on themes from the Ambroise Thomas opera Mignon this Paul Taffanel work is a firmly established part of the modern flute repertoire. This new Southern publication features Sir James Galway's own phrasing and performance markings in a clean modern engraving.

Giulio Briccialdi fut l'un des plus éminents virtuoses flûte du XIXe siècle. Naturellement, hormis un opéra, son oeuvre se composait principalement de pièces pour la flûte. Il épousa en nombreux fantasmes sur des extraits d'opéras populaires (principalement des oeuvres italiennes et les opéras de Meyerbeer) éblouissante virtuosité tunes qui étaient populaires favoris. Comme la musique de Wagner semble plutôt sous-représentés dans la découverte de Briccialdis ' Lohengrin ' compte comme une agréable surprise, ce qui devrait ravir les flûte joueurs et les fans de Wagner tout aussi la musique flûte populaire du XIXe siècle. / Flûte Traversière Et Piano
