Despite his studies being interrupted by WWI Jacques Ibert won the Grand Prix de Rome on his first attempt proving his significant compositional ability such as his Concerto for Flute and Orchestra. Ibert's Concerto for Flute was composed in 1934 at the height of his professional career. The work is lighthearted depicting the composer's favoured use of gentle humour and festivity. These are however contrasted by lyrical and evocative passages. Suitable for advanced level flautists and containing the full orchestral score this edition of Ibert's Concerto for Flute is a clear pleasant and varied addition to the Flute's repertoire.

According to his dating of the autograph Haydn composed the Symphony no. 89 in F major in 1787 just one year after the six so-called Paris symphonies. It was written together with its sister work the G-major Symphony no. 88 for the violinist Johann Tost who sold it to the Parisian publisher Sieber. In both works Haydn continues the compositional achievements of the Paris symphonies: mastery of orchestration richness of musical ideas and details and an idiosyncratic multicoloured use of the wind section (which still makes do without Clarinets). In contrast to the buoyant G-major symphony the F-major symphony possesses a ratherpastoral sweet character which in parts can nevertheless soar to dramatic heights. This study edition reproduces the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition which is a guarantor of the finest scholarship. An informative preface and a brief critical report make this handy score an ideal companion for all Haydn fans both present and future.
