In the 19th
century nationalist
themes came into fashion.
Composers drew on songs
and dances from their
native lands, working
them into paraphrased
adaptations, potpourri
arrangements and sets of
variations or
incorporating folk
elements from various
cultures in their
compositions. Flautist
Wilhelm Popp (1828-1902),
who wrote music for his
instrument at every level
of difficulty, also took
up this popular trend. In
this collection seven of
his easily
playablecompositions have
been chosen with musical
links to different
European countries. Here
again Popp shows his
ability to distil the
essence from musical
styles and fashions of
his time, setting lyrical
and virtuoso passages so
well for the instrument
that their effectiveness
far outweighs any
difficulties. The
popularity of his pieces
for tuition purposes,
school concerts or youth
music competitions
remains undiminished to
this day. This edition is
essentially based on the
first printed versions of
these pieces - with just
a small number of
printing errors and
inconsistencies corrected
without comment.
