Six Suites - Vol. 1 for Alto Recorder is the first volume of a series of two by J. S. Bach. Initially composed for Cello between 1717 and 1723 it was transcribed by Jean-Claude Veilhan and features the Suites I II and III. The transcription keeps the original key and only some passages have to be played one octave higher than in the original sheet. The first suite BWV 1007 is in G major and contains a Prelude an Allemande a Courante a Sarabande two Minuets and a Guigue. Its Prelude is the most famous movement of the whole set of Suites consisting mainly of only arpeggiated chords. It can be heard in manyfilms and is highly recognisable. The second one BWV1008 is in D minor and held the same movements' organisation. Its prelude in two parts features a cadenza which leads to other cadenzas in the Allemande. The Minuet part is quite technical to play. Finally the third one BWV 1009 in C major sees the Minuets being replaced by Bourrées which are often played together as a solo material. The second Bourrée only has a partial signature and the Allemande has a rhythm quite unique for the piece as it includes three semiquavers instead of one. These suites also exist arranged for Piano for Trombone and for many other instruments.

Twelve Fantasias for treble Recorder solo based on the fantasias for flauto traverso solo TWV 40:2-13. This arrangement of Telemann’s “Twelve Fantasias” for treble Recorder is based on our edition for solo flute BA2971. With the exception of Nos 4 5 & 12 which were transposed up a fourth for the Recorder all other fantasias are transposed up a third following a technique often used in the 18th Century. The Fantasias for Flute without bass address themselves less to the virtuoso than to the amateur flutist who will find everything he wishes in these pieces. Although Telemann himself mayhave lost track of his works the many flutists who have perfected their technique and musical interpretation with the help of these lovely Fantasias will never forget them.

Listen Learn and Play-Tilmann Dehnhard the writer of the successful ?Jazz Studies for Flute? (UE 33703) now turns his expertise to the alto recorder. In ?Easy Jazz Studies for Recorder? he offers ten easy to intermediate compositions that help with melodic style and articulation as they relate to jazz. Some of the pieces are based on the same chord progressions as well known jazz standards and may therefore sound tantalizingly familiar!Useful hints on swing articulation and ornamentation are provided. The accompanying CD provides recordings at various tempos with the demonstrational soloist before the player is ready to take on the full solo role with the backing track. Suitable forgrades 2-5.

Berio could have called “Gesti” a “Sequenza”; the approach is the same. The work calls for (almost literally) breathtaking virtuosity – fingers tongue and respiration must be skilfully coordinated. The instrumental sounds combined over and over with the flutist’s voice occasionally have a humorous effect such as when the flute suggests a bird gone mad; in the final section we hear that the instrument can sing as well.

Hans Ulrich Staeps' 'Tonfiguren? or 'Note Patterns? has been used by recorder teachers all over the world for decades and is firmly established as part of the teaching canon. It complements his well-known book, 'The Daily Lesson? and provides exercises to explore the full chromatic range of the alto recorder as well as improve techniques in rhythms and fingering combinations. This new edition makes no unnecessary corrections to Staeps' music or advice but uses modern graphics and printing techniques to offer an old favourite in a smart new format. / Flûte A Bec Alto
