RECENSION:
Flöte aktuell / 01-2018
Demanding etudes through the circle of fifths, lines, jumps, changing of registers and the upper range of the flute are asked and the practising player will be rewarded for his effort. What is good for violinsts, can be even better for fluteplayers.
A very expressive 6 minutes piece, which is technically and soundwise highly demanding to the performer. Contemporary techniques fit naturally in the musical context. Melancholic melodic passages contrast with virtuos expressive parts. An ideal piece for exams!
Hints about the realization of the contemporary techniques are included in the edition.
