The New Essential Companion. Henrik Wiese, the internationally renowned orchestral and solo flautist, has spent four years compiling what promises to be the definitive guide to audition repertoire for students preparing for a seat in a professional orchestra. He has worked with his own students in Salzburg as they engaged in auditions, as well as with other professional players and his teaching colleagues at the conservatorium. He sourced repertoire lists from job advertisements past and present and referred to other audition lists such as those of Baxtresser and Wye. Considerable research has gone into the differences between existing editions of the chosen pieces even, surprisingly, from twentieth century composers such as Prokofiev and Stravinsky. 'The Flute Audition” then looks at practical matters such as page turns and metronome markings. Wiese comments, for example, that Hindemith's own recording takes a passage from 'Symphonic Metamorphoses” markedly slower than in the score. The result of all this painstaking research is the most comprehensive collection of international audition pieces yet published in a single volume. 'This is an excellent collection of orchestral excerpts for the next generation of young musicians. You can use it to prepare for auditions anywhere in the world. Whether it's for an opera house, symphony or chamber orchestra, everything you need is here.'/ Recueil / Flûte Traversière

Ce recueil poursuit deux grands objectifs: d’une part, offrir aux élèves une selection de traits d’orchestre pour concours d’entrée qui soit actuelle et tournée vers l’international; il comprend non seulement le répertoire classique, mais aussi un large éventail de traits plus rarement demandés. D’autre part, présenter ces traits d’audition dans une édition fiable et actuelle./ Recueil / Flûte Traversière

The Legendary Series: Flute is a luxuriously presented, limited edition book featuring 100 fantastic pieces specially arranged for Flute. Reflecting the instrument's versatility, the music within The Legendary Series: Flute reflects contrasting performers such as Marcel Moyse, Herbie Mann and Ian Anderson and brings together legendary classical themes, jazz standards, show-tunes and timeless pop songs, all carefully arranged to suit the instrument. Alongside the beautifully presented repertoire is a selection of illustrations and commentaries on the lives of many celebrated flautists and composers. It should be noted that the chord symbols above the stave are written for an accompanying concert pitch instrument, i.e. Piano or Guitar. This is to allow the accompanist to read from the same score as the soloist. / Flûte
