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.

18 first pieces for young beginners. Par RAE JAMES. Child's Play by James Rae provides the simplest possible little performance pieces, almost from a pupil's first lesson. These pieces couldn't be easier and still have a tune, yet the clever piano accompaniments provide support and interest and make them great fun to perform. Mostly original pieces, sprinkled with some old favourites, they introduce new notes, one at a time, in the same order as will be found in most standard teaching methods. The very youngest pupils can download cartoons to colour in (as a reward for practising, of course!) and, when this book is finished, James' Debut Series awaits them, with more fun tunes and the chance of playing duets with their friends. / Niveau : Très Facile à Facile / Méthode / Flûte Traversière et Piano
