Flute solo or with piano - easy to intermediate - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q11445 Composed by Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn. Arranged by Berthold Tours. This edition: Sheet music. Il Flauto traverso. Downloadable. Schott Music - Digital #Q11445. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q11445). The work The Shepherdâ€™s Song by Felix Mendelssohn, presented as a reprint for the first time, is his only known original composition for flute. Although Mendelssohn frequently and skilfully used wind instruments in his orchestral works, he never provided them with significant parts, neither in his chamber music works not as solo instrument, which may have been due to the technical shortcomings of the instrument prior to the revolutionary inventions of Theobald BÃ¶hm. The short composition The Shepherdâ€™s Song was published for the first time after the death of the composer in 1889, including an additional piano accompaniment and an alternative violin part. The arranger and editor was the organist and composer Berthold Tours (1838-1897). Since the flute literature contains only few musical pieces of major composers of the Romantic era, it is surprising that this composition, which had been printed more than 100 years ago, has remained undiscovered for such a long time, thus remaining widely unknown to the public until today. The Shepherdâ€™s Song can be performed with flute (violin) solo or with the piano accompaniment by Berthold Tours.The Shepherdâ€™s Song ist Mendelssohns einzige bekannte Originalkomposition fÃ¼r FlÃ¶te. Die kurze Komposition wurde erst nach seinem Tod 1889 mit einer hinzugefÃ¼gten Klavierbegleitung und einer alternativen Violinstimme publiziert. Da die FlÃ¶tenliteratur nur wenig Musik bedeutender Komponisten der Romantik enthÃ¤lt, ist es verwunderlich, dass diese vor Ã¼ber 100 Jahren gedruckte Komposition so lange unentdeckt blieb und somit fÃ¼r die Allgemeinheit bis heute weitgehend unbekannt bleiben konnte.
