The Flute Collection. Par SCHUMANN ROBERT. Remarks in his household books indicate that Robert Schumann (1810–1856) composed the Märchenbilder (Fairy-Tale Pictures) for piano and viola (or violin) op. 113 in just four days between 1st and 4th March, 1851, in Düsseldorf. Schumann only gradually came to the title Märchenbilder. The four pieces are unified by their shared opus number and keys (D minor, F major, D minor, D major), but the first edition published them in two volumes (Vol. 1: Nos. 1 and 2; Vol. 2: Nos. 3 and 4). Clearly, the Märchenbilder op. 113 do not need to be performed as a group but can be played in pairs or individually. The present arrangement is based upon the viola part. The viola's ambitus, when transposed up an octave, matches that of the flute. Solutions from the violin part have also been used on occasion. The double stops in the second piece were, for example, already simplified in the violin version. At such points the violin part provides a model for further simplifications in the flute part. A later, corrected edition of the first print served as the source of the current edition./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Par SCHMITZ MANFRED. Have fun learning through the combination of classical playing technique and pop sound! Separated into different levels of difficulty, in both these titles you’ll find an extensive repertoire of pieces for solo instruments with piano accompaniment. Working together with experienced instrumental pedagogues, Manfred Schmitz has specifically arranged these pieces for violin, viola, cello and flute respectively. Ideal for students and teachers: all components (the piano accompaniment book, the instrumental part books and a play-along CD that contains the piano accompaniments) can all be purchased separately. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Contemporary - Solos / Recueil / Flûte Traversière et Piano

Für Flöte Und Klavier Bearbeitet Von Elisabeth Weinzierl / Edmund Wächter. Par MARAIS MARIN. Marin Marais, the legendary gambist at the court of Louis XIV, mainly left works for his own instrument, which are entirely in the French ‘taste’. Marais points out that, although his works are written for viola da gamba, they can equally be playedon flute, violin or other melody instrument. Five pieces from his “Quatrième Livre de Viole” are presented here in arrangements for flute and piano. These are based on a 1917 English edition for string instruments, which lends the dances a certainromantic charm. The original articulation and dynamics from Marais’ first edition of 1717 have been carefully reintroduced. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Flûte Traversière et Piano
