With Plenty To Chew On-Seven concert pieces including 'Carmina Banana' and other favourites!When I began putting together a few piano pieces back in 2007 I didn't imagine they would quickly spawn a thriving eleven-volume series entitled Eye-Tunes taking players from 'easy' to grade 8 level. Nor did I imagine these might trigger a further five volumes of arrangements for flute and piano two called Creature Comforts (which predictably enough are comprised of animal-inspired pieces) or indeed the three volumes in this current series Flute Pastilles. While it goes without saying that not all pieces conceived for piano will work equally well for the combination of flute andpiano I'm a great believer that a good tune is frequently one which will transcribe easily. I like to think of these cherry-picked arrangements concise though they are as being 'proper' pieces in that they can earn their keep beyond the confines of the practice room or flute lesson. From Book 1 you will find a sprinkling of more thoughtful pieces such as Wind over Goonhilly Forget-Me-Not and Follow the North Star to offset the more jaunty pieces. These in particular call for a little extra attention to tone colour dynamics and phrase-shaping with some awareness of what the piano part is doing too. Think hard about choosing your tempo for each piece as this is a major contributor to musical character and in the faster moving music aim to articulate the rhythms as crisply as you can so that the music can really spring off the page and come to life for your audience.I must acknowledge as before the inestimable contribution to the success of these pieces made by Gillian Poznansky whose suggestions over the appearance of the scores has made such a difference to how the music is likely to be played. She also came up with a fair number of the titles to these pieces and has done them further service by performing them with me to great aplomb on innumerable occasions in far-flung corners of the globe.

Par JOLIVET ANDRE. Andre Jolivet (1905-1974) composed this Concerto for Flute and Strings in 1949. Initially written for Flute and String Orchestra, this version contains the scores for the Flute and the Piano and lasts 12 minutes. This strong> Concerto for Flute and Strings is quite unusual as it was only created in two movements, each divided into a slow introduction and a fast main part. Used as one of the main pieces of the Geneva music contest ; Concours de Genève in 2014, this concerto requires advanced skills. Andre Jolivet is a French composer who was really inspired by theAntiquity and had a strong interest for atonality. He also wrote many chamber music pieces, eleven concertos, some orchestral and some vocal music./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

With a huge range of repertoire existing for the Flute Italian composer Alfredo Casella's Sicilienne et Burlesque stands out as an extremely evocative and inspiring piece composed notably as WWI broke out across Europe. Having studied at the Paris Conservatoire from 1896 under the direction of Gabriel Fauré >i>Casella received an exceedingly high standard of education. His clear compositional ability and understanding of the Flute is portrayed in his Sicilienne et Burlesque through the use of advanced Flute techniques and brilliant ensemble devices exploiting the duet between Flute and Piano. TheSicilienne is in a slow compound time significantly contrasted by the light and comedic Burlesque. These aspects combine to create an enjoyable and challenging piece for advanced flautists.

Despite the rich and lively repertoire there are only few compositions for flute and piano which can truly be called 'jazz-inspired'. This gap is now closed by Jeremy Norris with his 'Jazz Suite'. Its musical language is characterized by syncopated and swing rhythms as well as by blues-inspired harmonies and melodies. The instrumental setting is vaguely reminiscent of the music by Earl Hines Benny Goodman or Dave Brubeck. Immerse yourself into Fantasy' 'Piano bar blues' 'La parisienne' 'Déj vue' and 'Time out'.

Teacher soloist chamber musician conductor and composer ? Flautist Eric Ledeuil a student of Patrick Gallois and Benoît Fromanger wears many hats. This diversity continually enriches his educational work as can be seen by the success of his flute method La flûte imaginative published by Leduc in two volumes (AL 30 365 and 30 367). Fête à Camelot a piece for Flute and Piano (or Harp) for fourth-year students reconnects with the Knights of the Round Table an imaginary world that has long been a source of musical inspiration for Ledeuil: the key figures of the legend appear in hisLes Méandres de Viviane (AL 30 495 Beginner) and Les Mystères de Brocéliande (AL 29 589 Intermediate). This work is set in King Arthur?s fortress: the great halls ring out with the sounds of joyful festivities interspersed with echoes of Viviane?s song. A Knight?s story of his quest for the Holy Grail is followed by the furtive appearance of Morgan le Fay but she gives way to the Lady of the Lake ? Viviane ? whose distant melody shrouds itself in melancholy tones. The work concludes with a fisel a traditional Breton dance that whips the troubadours? enchanted instruments into a frenzy.

For Flute And Piano-The composer has drawn from her Scottish background for inspiration in this piece. In the central section of Piper's Dream the music hints at real Scottish folk music. The outer sections are freer and players are encouraged to enjoy the spirit of improvisation. At times the flautist reflects the sound of the bagpipes imitating the instrument's characteristic 'fall' in the closing phrases of the piece. Near the end the music fades as if this Scottish fantasy were just a dream. he interplay between the flute and piano is beautiful the writing showing McDowall's understanding of the qualities of the instruments' Music Teacher MagazineGrade: 7

From among Reinecke?s abundant oeuvre, a very few works have from the beginning maintained their position in the concert repertoire. First and foremost among these is the Flute Sonata op. 167 with the sobriquet ?Undine?, composed in 1882 and inspired by the eponymous fairy tale by Friedrich de la Motte-Fouqué about the ill-fated love of a mermaid. It is not, however, meant programmatically, but rather, like Schumann?s poetic titles, as a framework of associations for this highly romantic, in places very virtuoso sonata in traditional, four-movement form. As the autograph is lost, the printed editions form the basis for the new critical edition of this sonata, which is solidly anchored in the flute repertoire and is now finally available as a Henle Urtext edition.
