Music’s unique and amazing ability to reflect our feelings without using words or any visual cues has been valued throughout history and is a trait composers sought to perfect in their own writing. Even so, no other musical era seems more destined to capture and explore human emotions than the Romantic period that blossomed in the 19th century.
At that time, the instrument inventor Theobald Böhm refined the flute, giving it the shape we are familiar with now, and it was an instrument of choice for composers of the day. The 19th century symphonic repertoire is a rich repository for extended, expressive flute solos, yet the instrument remained underrepresented in solo and chamber works. This book, which contains several arrangements of Romantic movements for flute and piano, is intended to give advanced flutists the opportunity to experience and become acquainted with more music of the Romantic era from the perspective of a soloist.
The collection focuses on Italian Romantic composers. Two famous individuals, opera composer Gioacchino Rossini representing the early-Romantic and Ottorino Respighi representing the late-Romantic, are the cornerstones, while the high-Romantic is represented by lesser-known composers, such as César Casella, Giovanni Sgambati, and Achille Simonetti.
The enclosed CD provides a demonstration of each piece, followed by the piano accompaniment with which to play along.
