Pictures At An Exhibition Score Arr. Howarth (Tableaux d'une exposition)

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

Par MOUSSORGSKY MODEST / RAVEL MAURICE (Arr.) . Ravel’s brilliant compositional interpretation of the Pictures at an Exhibition is, to this day, the most famous and independent orchestration of Mussorgsky’s masterpiece. When the French composer turned his attention to his Russian colleague’s piano cycle in 1922, he was at the height of his mastery and Paris was enraptured by Russian music. Notated with remarkable accuracy in an autograph score, Ravel’s orchestration was an audience favorite from the very start. Jean-François Monnard, who previously edited the Breitkopf Urtext editions of Boléro , La Valse and Rapsodie espagnole , presents a text in which even the tiniest detail is authentic. The edition not only eliminates many previously undiscovered errors, but also offers a wealth of practical information on the long and multi-faceted performance history of the work, including the metronome markings of great conductors who were connected to the work in a very special manner.
